When you're not ready for your new role

What happens if you get promoted to a role for which you're not ready yet? How to deal with influx of new responsibilities?

When you're not ready for your new role

In this video I'm talking about an interesting problem: getting promoted too early. I don't think this is a particularly common issue, but it's a one which can have some pretty bad consequences. In the video I'm talking about: why companies might promote their employees too early, what are possible consequences and what to do if you believe that you're not ready for your current role yet.

I believe that this problem specifically affects later stages of career, from lead developer (maybe senior?) onwards, and particularly affects transition from individual contributor to leadership roles.
