In many organizations, it can take up to 10 years before new leaders get leadership development training, leaving most to figure things out on their own. So what should new managers be paying more attention to? And what mistakes are they more likely to make? That’s what I’ll be discussing with my guest, Inc columnist Peter Economy, in this episode of my leadership podcast, “Leadership Biz Cafe“.
Peter is a best-selling business author, developmental editor, and publishing consultant. Some of you might know him as The Leadership Guy from his popular column on Inc. He’s also the best-selling author of over 100 books, his latest being “Wait, I’m the Boss?!? The Essential Guide for New Managers to Succeed from Day One” which Peter and I will be talking about in this episode.
Over the course of our conversation, Peter and I discuss:
- The key to measuring employee progress and performance that every manager should be employing in their leadership toolkit.
- 4 factors critical to assessing employee performance.
- How new managers can ensure they’re using delegation as an effective tool for employee growth and retention.
- How new managers can break down barriers that impede diversity initiatives in their organization.
- What senior leaders need to be mindful of in terms of developing their leadership pipeline.
