In this episode we talk about:

• Why this dynamic is more common than you think (and it's not just your organization)
• How chronic deference to less experienced leadership erodes your own judgment over time
• The difference between a less experienced manager who supports your growth vs. one who caps it
• How to tell if this situation is temporary and workable or chronic and costly
• Where to get professional validation when your manager can't provide meaningful feedback
• The one question that cuts through everything: Are you growing, or are you just functioning?

This isn't about whether your manager is "good" or "bad." It's about whether the person above you is making your career bigger or smaller, and that's true at any experience level.

Feeling stuck or unsure if you're growing or just maintaining?
