For many capable, responsible people, pressure increases quietly.
Not because of failure.
Not because of a lack of effort.
But because responsibility has expanded faster than clarity, language, or structure.
Leadership is not just what you do.
It is how you carry what you’ve been given.
This is not about advancement.
It is about readiness.
Readiness to see clearly.
Readiness to name what’s present.
Readiness to choose how you carry responsibility before pressure makes the choice for you.
