378: Great at the Job. Terrible at Leading. Now What?
Are you a business owner who promoted a top performer, only to watch them struggle in a leadership role? Today, I’m digging into why so many companies end up choosing the wrong person for a leadership position.
I share my own insights and real client stories, like the sales superstar who tanked in a manager role or the talented therapist who just didn’t want to handle the admin and accountability that come with leading a team. These are all-too-common scenarios, and they can cost you in culture, clients, and revenue if you don’t spot the red flags
This episode is about spotting signs of a mismatch, course correcting with compassion, and ensuring you’re promoting people with genuine leadership potential. Plus, I’m giving you my free Spot Your Leader Assessment Tool so you can confidently know if your next candidate is truly ready.
If you want to avoid costly leadership mistakes and set your team and yourself! up for real success, tune in for practical strategies, reassurance, and a new way to think about building a high-performing team!
