Now comes the hard part: You're going to have to reorient yourself if you want to succeed as a leader. Also, think about the traits that got you this far in your career and assess whether they'll continue to serve you well, said Peter Bregman, founder of leadership advisory firm Bregman Partners. Get out of the weedsIf you're highly detail oriented, a control freak or just used to doing everything yourself, you'll have to step back. The higher you go, the less you should control and the more you should inspire and empower those on your team, Bregman said. A lot of people surround themselves with people who say 'yes, yes, yes.'
