You’re already the person they trust to make it happen.
You solve the problem.
Carry the responsibility.
Make the decision everyone else avoids.
And sometimes you’re still treated like the helper instead of the authority. My work is about closing that gap.
Being needed is not the same as being recognized.
Being responsible is not the same as having authority.
