One day you're crushing your numbers. The next, you're responsible for the people who used to be your peers and no one tells you how to make that leap.

Carry the Weight is the field guide for that moment.

Built from twenty-plus years in B2B sales, thirteen of them leading teams from the ground up, Joshua Teixidor skips the platitudes and hands you systems you can actually run.

The Three Hats framework for knowing when to manage, when to coach, and when to lead. How to diagnose underperformance before you waste time fixing the wrong thing. How to turn feedback into behavior that actually changes. How to tell a rough patch from a real crisis, before it costs you the team.

All you will learn inside this book because this isn't leadership philosophy. It's a toolkit; field-tested, team-proven, built for leaders carrying more than anyone warned them about.

Read it before your first hard conversation. Not after.

Every leader starts in the same place. Most never get the map.
