That’s exactly the risk I was thinking about.
“Promote from within” sounds great until you realize you may be promoting based on loyalty or technical performance instead of actual leadership readiness.
Sometimes that works out, but sometimes it makes us overlook whether they actually want the responsibility or have the skills for it.
Hiring someone who already had the supervision experience probably saved you a lot of pain compared to trying to force someone into a role they weren’t ready for.
