The Risks of Delaying Your Leadership Training

Ep. 111 - According to research published in HBR involving 17,000 managers, the average manager received their first leadership training 10 years after they began supervising. That's crazy if you think about it. There is no other job for which we'd think it's ok to practice it for 10 years before getting trained in it. In this week’s episode, we’re going to talk about the specific costs and risks of delaying leadership training. I will share why it matters so much to set yourself up for success in your role with leadership training as soon as possible. — RESOURCES MENTIONED — “We Wait Too Long to Train Our Leaders” by Jack Zenger, article published in Harvard Business Review (HBR) Ramona’s 12-week Leadership Accelerator that helps new managers confident and competent leaders people love to work with! — WHAT NEXT? — Grab your copy of Ramona's best-selling new book 'The Confident & Competent New Manager: How to Rapidly Rise to Success in Your First Leadership Role': https://amzn.to/3TuOdcP If this episode inspired you in some way, take a screenshot of you listening on your device and post it to your Instagram Stories, and tag me @ramona.shaw.leadership or DM me on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/ramona-shaw Are you in your first manager role and don't want to mess it up?
