How to Develop Other Leaders

The work I do with my clients often centers around adapting to a new role or promotion. It sounds easy. Yet many of my clients beat themselves up because they assumed it should be an easier transition. It is not.

Taking on a promotion means you will be further away from the hands-on work. Attempts to try to stay close to that work might get in your way.

Your intentions are good. It comes from a good place of wanting to make sure the work his high quality. Yet, this will overwhelm your to-do list and train some bad habits in your team.

Each new role you take on requires mindset changes. You need to shift the way you think of yourself, and how you think you provide the highest value.

This was something a woman in our community, T, realized when she volunteered to do an on-air coaching call with me.

Take a listen to this episode and let me know if any of this resonated with you. I’m offering T some tips and new perspectives, along with a book recommendation that may be helpful to you as well so stay ‘til the end.

Welcome!

If you are new to the Women Taking the Lead podcast…hello and welcome!

I’m Jodi Flynn. I’m an executive leadership coach, speaker, and author. I am the current President of the Board for The Maine Women’s Conference. I have the privilege and joy to work with women leaders to hone the skills and the mindset that allow them to grow into and then thrive in Senior Leadership. My specialization is working with women who are still stabilizing after their last promotion and those who want to be ready for the next one.

It is my belief that for more women to hold positions of senior leadership, there are changes at the individual and organizational level that need to occur. Not only do women need to be trained and coached on how to operate at these levels of leadership, organizations need to change their paradigm of how the work gets done and what supports are in place for leaders to do their job.

There’s so much that can be gained by listening to what another woman is going through. And understanding the strategy she will implement to overcome the challenge she is faced with. This is the reason I would love to do more On-Air Coaching Calls on this podcast.
