Résumés tell stories. Runway decides outcomes. This episode gives you a complete, evidence based playbook to make successors win Day One. You will define the four rails that matter most: time, trust, tools, and a single target. Then you will turn them into a one page Runway Map, a Board Pack that shuts down opinion with proof, four runway evidence gates, and a Shadow Mission that converts potential into film you can watch. You will finish with a two week rollout and two wall metrics: Calendar Delta and Target Velocity. Build runway on purpose and stop betting on paper.
