The Year of the New and Emerging Leader

The People Leaders Podcast

New and emerging leaders are usually given the short straw when it comes to leadership development and training. They’re often thrust into a role based on technical achievement and/or attitude and aren’t given much in the way of training in people leadership.

This is a huge mistake, because these are the people on the front line, the interface between the objectives of the organisation and ‘the work’ that makes those objectives come about. It’s the make-or-break point for deep leadership to take hold in an organisation.

What happens all too often is that new and emerging leaders focus on managing “the work,” instead of managing the people who are meant to be doing the work, and end up taking too much of the work on themselves.

And on top of that, they’re expected to manage the dynamic of the workplace, and spend too much time resolving conflict or compensating for underperformers in the workplace.

This is why high-performing teams are so rare. Most teams are “getting by,” but it’s because a leader, and perhaps one or two other high performers, are carrying the bulk of the load.

Meanwhile, the rest of the team flies under the radar, not necessarily because they are lazy, but because their leader doesn’t have the skills to lead, to bring out the best in the team.

Efficient, Effective and Respected

So this year we’re taking a stand for new and emerging leaders. We’re dedicating our content to helping them make the transition from being a manager to being a leader, from being overworked and underappreciated to becoming efficient, effective and appreciated.

So if you are a new and emerging leader, we’ve got your back. Pay attention to what’s coming your way because it’s especially for you.

And if you are a leader of new and emerging leaders, we’ve got your back too. We know that passing on leadership skills can be tricky, especially if you haven’t been taught them yourself or if you’re more of an intuitive leader and you don’t fully understand the process behind your style of leadership.

This is the level where deep leadership takes hold in an organisation and we’re committed to seeing that happen wherever we can.

So this episode of the podcast is a taste of what’s to come this year.

It ends with an invitation to tell us what you want to hear about. We’d love to know the challenges you are facing, and the questions you have, as a new and emerging leader or a leader of new and emerging leaders.

Listen to podcast here and let us know what we can do to help you.

Onwards and upwards!!
