Navigating the Jump from Manager to Executive
Moving from frontline management to becoming a leader of leaders is a huge professional milestone. The role often comes with broader scope, bigger expectations, and influence to shape strategy, culture, and the organization's performance at the highest levels. Reaching this point can feel thrilling, even validating. After years of proving yourself, you've earned a seat at the table. Your input carries more weight. You're probably excited about setting direction and solving more important problems. But here's where things get tricky. While a senior role comes with nice rewards, the transition itself can be disorienting. Leading leaders isn't 'more of the same' just with bigger teams and budgets. In reality, you have to fundamentally shift how you think about your role, how you spend your time, and how you measure success. Claudia, an operations executive, discovered this the hard way. She had built her reputation on solving any problem, from late shipments and client complaints to staffing shortages. When she was promoted to oversee four regional managers, Claudia saw it as an extension of her previous role. She jumped in to offer guidance, sat in on team meetings, and weighed in on almost every decision, not realizing she was crowding out her managers in the process. They seemed frustrated, not grateful—and Claudia's boss questioned why she was still in the weeds. She found herself working longer hours but feeling less effective than ever before. This was a wake-up call for Claudia. What had made her successful at the frontline level—behaviors like being hands-on and swooping in with solutions—was now holding her back. She was competent and capable, but she hadn't updated her professional identity to match her new operating altitude. Maybe you also find yourself in the middle of transitioning to leading leaders and trying to find your footing. If so, then like Claudia, you might be realizing that it requires rewiring beliefs you have about what makes you valuable and effective. Here are the three key shifts you need to make. 1. Going from expert to coach Your job is no longer to be the smartest in the room, but to grow your managers into independent decision-makers. That means resisting the urge to jump in with fixes and instead creating space for your team to build their own judgment. This can feel like a loss or even a dereliction of your duties, particularly if you've prided yourself on being helpful and knowledgeable. But if you're the one doing all the strategizing, your managers don't get the chance to hone that skill themselves. The next time your team brings you a challenge, push for their analysis before offering your own thoughts. Ask questions like these to push your managers to think critically and take ownership, instead of defaulting to you: Get comfortable sitting with discomfort while your people wrestle with ambiguity. Get comfortable with pauses and silence. When a manager raises an issue, take a breath and say: 'That's complicated. Tell me what you're seeing,' or 'I understand why you're concerned. What do you think is the best course of action?' 2. Moving from execution to driving impact through others As a frontline manager, you were probably deeply involved in assigning work, tracking progress, and keeping things on course. You might have gained a sense of comfort from knowing exactly what was happening on the ground. But now, you have to loosen that grip. When you're driving multiple teams' performance, your role shifts to cultivating conditions where good work can happen without your direct involvement. This shift can be emotionally challenging. Your satisfaction once came from checking tasks off a list and ending each day with concrete proof of what you accomplished. At the senior level, your productivity becomes intangible—strategic conversations, coaching sessions, and relationship-building that creates value you can't easily measure. When you catch yourself thinking, 'I talked all day and have nothing to show for it,' think beyond the first-order effects of your actions. Did you guide an important decision? Align priorities so work moves forward faster? These wins may not come with a dopamine hit in the moment, but the second- and third-order effects compound over time. The feedback you gave a manager today might mean stronger performance next quarter. The way you challenge someone could give them the confidence to take a bolder approach that secures a major account three months from now. 3. Evolving from oversight to scalable systems Since you're overseeing more people and projects, the volume of information coming at you may double or triple. Without proper mechanisms in place, you may drown in details or miss critical issues entirely. So identify three to five priorities or risks you must stay closest to, such as revenue targets or client retention. Then establish clear guardrails for when your managers should escalate issues versus handle them independently, for example: Run any new expense over $5,000 by me. New hires above the director level band need my signoff. Any situation that could generate negative publicity should be brought directly to me. Asynchronous systems also give you visibility without creating more overhead. You might ask for biweekly or monthly written updates highlighting key metrics, wins, challenges, and upcoming priorities from each manager. Or you can have each team create a dashboard that tracks critical data points so you can check status at a glance rather than schedule multiple meetings. Becoming a leader of leaders is a change of both scope and attitude. Your decisions may now affect dozens (or hundreds) of employees. Your results depend on how well other experienced professionals do their jobs, not on what you can personally make happen. Stepping into these shifts doesn't happen overnight and it can feel nerve-wracking for a while. But once you make peace with—and embrace—this new version of leadership, you'll unlock new levels of impact and satisfaction you never imagined.

Additional funding will avoid public services cliff-edge, says O'Dowd
Additional money for public services in Northern Ireland will avoid a potential funding 'cliff-edge', Stormont's Finance Minister John O'Dowd has said. Mr O'Dowd said he had reached an agreement with the Treasury over an additional £600 million to support public services in the region. He said it brought the total extra funding provided for the region to £1.3 billion. Chief Secretary to the Treasury Darren Jones said the Northern Ireland Executive will 'receive the largest real-term settlement since the 1998 Good Friday Agreement' following the Government's spending review. He added: 'The Executive will be receiving over 24% more per person than equivalent UK Government spending in the rest of the United Kingdom. 'That means the Executive will be receiving £19.3 billion per year on average between 2026-27 and 2028-29 with an average extra £1.2 billion through the Barnett formula per year, made up of £1 billion of day-to-day spending and £220 million of capital for that four-year period.' Mr Jones said there would also be additional funding of £137 million over three years to tackle paramilitarism and organised crime, £11 million over three years to fund community development projects, £310 million over four years for city and growth deals and £185 million over three years for public service transformation and £2 million for integrated education. Mr O'Dowd said agreement had been reached with the Treasury after months of negotiations. He said: 'It will deliver an additional £600 million of funding provided for vital public services here. 'This will enable the Executive to take a long-term strategic approach to public service delivery. 'It helps avoid the potential cliff-edge in public funding that could have occurred when the restoration financial package comes to an end and the resulting damage this would have done to frontline public services.' Mr O'Dowd said the Treasury had agreed to exclude £329 million of agriculture funding from the relative funding calculation for Northern Ireland. He said: 'Without this agreement the Executive would have received £600 million less in funding over the spending review period. 'The agreement we have reached with Treasury will see us funded above 124% excluding agriculture between 2026-27 and 2028-29. 'The inclusion of agriculture and non-Barnett funding increases this to 128%.' Mr O'Dowd added: 'Since taking up the role of Finance Minister I have consistently said I would do everything in my power to ensure our public services are fairly and properly funded. 'This agreement will see £600 million more for public services over the spending review period, providing additional investment in the services that we all rely on and delivers on my commitment to support workers, families and communities.' People Before Profit MLA Gerry Carroll said the spending review had failed to deliver for working people in Northern Ireland. He said: 'Once again, the British government has shown that its economic agenda is incapable of delivering for ordinary people.'
