Just as you prove in your post, just because you’re good at something doesn’t make you good at managing others in doing the same thing. Getting promoted based on being good in your career shouldn’t mean that you take on an entirely new role without showing the skills necessary for the role. There definitely needs to be more evaluating, transitioning, and training involved.

I would definitely prescribe a Time Management course as well as a gym membership or some other outlet that will help fight the fatigue as well as allow him or her to set reasonable goals in some other areas of that person’s life.
