Your boss has double the fear that you do about stepping up to the next level.
You fear it, but you’re ready to take the next step, to learn.
You’re willing to risk (maybe fail), and that’s a good thing.
On the other hand, your boss fears you failing from both a selfish and a selfless standpoint.
Selfishly, she doesn’t want to redo the books or the work. If you screw up, it’s on her dime. She’s saving her gluteus by not giving you the chance to fail.
Then, because she cares about you, she also doesn’t want you to fail, to fall discouraged, to regret stepping in shoes she knew you wouldn’t fit in. Better to play it safe, she thinks.
The problem is that double fear isn’t going anywhere, and therein lies the issue of having a boss.
Consider what you have control over now? What permission can you accept now? What responsibility can you take in your own hands?
After all, it’s your turn in line, even if your boss can’t see it.
Stay Positive & Support May Not Be There, But Permission Always Is
