The most honest answer historians can give is: we have no idea.
Fast promotion doesn’t give you influence—it loans it at a brutal interest rate. Every decision you make without earned respect accrues skepticism and resentment. The only way to pay back the ‘cognitive debt’ is through concrete wins that your team can’t ignore. Power can be granted; credibility must be earned over years of proof.
