The biggest mistake high performers make after becoming senior leaders?

They keep doing instead of leading.

This is exactly what I unpacked in the latest episode of the Shameless Careers podcast.

I spoke with David Feld - executive coach to leaders at JP Morgan, Ford, Schroders, Fidelity, and BNY Mellon - about the mindset shifts that separate strong operators from strong leaders.

Here are the ideas that stayed with me most:

• Why personal brilliance stops being the main metric at senior level

• Why continuing to "do" becomes the hidden career trap

• A simple way to identify which actions actually drive results

• Why “thinking time” is not a luxury - but a leadership necessity

• Why people decisions often matter more than business decisions

• Why overconfidence can quietly become your biggest career risk

Honestly?

This conversation alone probably saved me years of trial and error.

If you're in (or aiming for) senior leadership, this episode is full of practical ideas you can apply immediately.
