A title may change how people introduce us, but it does not change the substance of the work.
The higher the position, the easier it becomes to spend time discussing, approving, and representing — while becoming increasingly distant from what customers and employees actually experience.
I have learned that leadership titles matter only when they create clearer responsibility. The real question is not how much authority a role gives us. It is whether people know that, when something important is at risk, we will remain present and answerable.
A title may open the door. What we do after entering determines whether we deserve to remain there.

The value of a title is not the authority it gives us, but the responsibility we are willing to carry.
