Ep 226 - Why Some New Leaders Fail to Build Team Engagement
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Today we’re talking about a situation that comes up sometimes in leadership coaching engagements - a newly appointed leader who inherits an existing team and then struggles to establish credibility.
This is one of the reasons organisations bring me in as a leadership coach. On paper, promoting this person to leader makes sense. The leader is capable, experienced, technically strong, maybe high-performing in previous roles.
But then they step into a new leadership position with an inherited team… and things start to wobble.
Maybe the team doesn’t fully buy in. Momentum slows. Relationships become strained. The leader starts second-guessing themselves.
In today’s episode we are exploring why this transition can be so hard and how coaching can help the leader build engagement and thrive.
Rebecca, on taking a step back in the first few days and weeks of your new leadership role:
"What makes it particularly difficult is that many new leaders think they need to prove themselves quickly. So they overcompensate. They move too fast. And they try to establish authority before establishing trust."
