Preventing First-Time Leader Failure

Timothy Dean Smith, Leadership Speaker, Coach and Podcast Host

About this episode

"Send me a text message and let me know what you think of the First-Time Leaders Accelerated℠ Podcast."

Today I will explain how to prevent first-time leader failure. Before an individual contributor is promoted to a leader role, there are four prerequisites they must meet. You will learn why each prerequisite is important. The four prerequisites are:
Self-Leadership
Caring about people
Inspired to lead people
People-Centered Leader Skills

If you find my insight valuable, please share this podcast with others.

Treat people like they make a difference and they will.
