She's Triple Threat
Exercise your fluency. Build. Lead. Manage.
A Triple Threat is fluent across individual contribution (IC), leadership (LD) and management (MG), and excels where they overlap. The overlaps are where the same skill grows in scope: an engineer spots a risk, a lead frames it, a manager weighs it against the business.
Skills become responsibilities. Responsibilities become roles and titles you can advocate for. And as you reach them, you become the example someone behind you is looking for, and a better sponsor for them.
The problem
The framework
Three core disciplines. Six areas.
The three core disciplines are the edges of the work: individual contribution, leadership and management. The three overlaps are where it gets interesting: the same instinct, exercised at a bigger scope. A Triple Threat understands the vocabulary of all three.
- An engineer spots a risk
- A lead frames it
- A manager weighs it against the business
- Skillswhat you can do
- Responsibilitieswhat you do every time
- Roles & titleswhat you can advocate for
- Sponsorshipwho you bring with you

How to read your web
Depth, not seniority.
Every skill grows through the same levels, and they build up with no skipping. Your web isn't a rating of how senior you are: each point shows how far you already take the skills in that area. The black line shows what you're aiming for. Where it reaches past your shape, that's a gap; where your shape reaches past it, that's a strength to lead with.
Three kinds of gaps
Every gap has a different next step.
Exposure gap
You haven't been given the chance, or not often enough.
Next stepAsk for one specific rep.
Skill gap
You wouldn't know how to do it yet.
Next stepLearn it inside a rep, not a course.
The Gap Map
You're already doing more than your title says.
Map the work you already do across individual contribution, leadership and management. Then see the gap to the job or review you're aiming for, and exactly what to do about it.
1What are you aiming for?
Paste a job posting or your performance evaluation. Your text never leaves this page.
Your manager wrote this
What you wrote about your own work from your most recent performance review.
What your manager wrote about you from your most recent performance review, career development plan, or your company's career framework.
2What you already do
Count, don't judge. Think about the last 6 months and pick the furthest level you reach most of the times it comes up. Levels build up with no skipping, so reaching one means you already do the ones before it. 32 quick picks, one at a time, saved as you go.
What do the answers mean?
- A level
- the furthest you reach today
- Not yet
- you haven't started on it
- Doesn't apply
- not part of your role
- No chance yet / Don't know how
- what's in the way of the next level, when it's a gap
