Listen "The Biggest Mistake New Leaders Make"
Episode Synopsis
I want you to imagine that you've just sat down at a restaurant for a dinner out with your family. Now, imagine that the waiter came to the table, introduced himself, and then announced what you would be having for dinner. How would you react? You'd probably be shocked, right? And you'd probably object. "No, I'm not having the steak because I'm a vegetarian." Now, imagine that when you started to speak up, the waiter cut you off and said, "Listen, I know that you don't know me very well, but I know what I'm doing, and this is the way it's going to be." At that point, you're outta there, right? I mean, you're gone.
Believe it or not, leaders stepping into new roles do exactly this over and over again when they implement change too quickly and without the support of the people working there.
Grab your doggy bag and follow me as we fix the biggest mistake leaders make with a new team or in a new role. Check, please!
