Coaching for First Time Leaders
I partner with first time leaders to help them successfully navigate a key transition in their careers. This investment sets the leader up for long-term success by understanding their personal impact, building strong relationships, and creating a positive work environment. Coaching for first time leaders has a substantial ROI, while not investing in coaching first time leaders is one of the most costly mistakes made by organizations.
Making the shift from getting it done to getting it done through others takes more than just the technical/professional expertise and talent that our brilliant heroes bring to the leader role. A successful shift requires the that individual change their definition of success. As a high functioning individual contributor, many people measure their success in tasks and results, by what they got done. Frequently, they were given the ball and they were rewarded for running it down for the field for the win.
As a leader, they can no longer measure their success by their own individual actions, instead “I” becomes “We” and it no longer works in the long-term to take the ball and run it down the field on their own. What got them to this point in their career will not get them to the next level unless they change their definition of success. I call it the 3M’s and I coach first time leaders on their Mindset, Motivation, and Management skills.
