Exorcising the Expert: How VPs Become Architects

Episode notes

You were promoted because you were excellent. But the very mastery that got you here can become a liability at VP level. In this episode of The Velocity Executive , we unpack the competence penalty: why strong individual performers get stuck in the expert role, how that “ghost” shows up in your decisions, and what it takes to shift from doer to architect. We also break down the three Ghost Score tiers — The Haunting , The Transition , and The Architect — and close with a free assessment to help you see where you are now.
