First-Time Leaders Accelerated℠
Welcome to First-Time Leaders Accelerated℠.
Leading people is the most important responsibility in the world, yet 60% of first-time leaders fail. The good news? It's preventable.
Incorrect leader selection distresses your people, increases your operating costs, and erodes your culture experience.
Drawing on more than four decades of transforming leaders, I share concise, practical solutions you can apply immediately to become a more effective people-centered leader.
This podcast is for first-time leaders and those responsible for hiring, selecting, and developing them.
I'm Timothy Dean Smith, your host and coach.
Each month, we'll solve a leader challenge together.
If you find my podcast valuable, please share it with those responsible for hiring, selecting, and developing them.
I help organizations select the right people and prepare them to successfully transition into people-centered leaders for a lifetime.

Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The common problem I solve is twofold:
1. Only 5% of companies have a leader development strategy, because most companies don’t have this competency on staff.
2. 60% of first-time leaders fail.
I have a phrase that sums up why 60% of first-time leaders fail. I call it:
“Get rid of your best people and wreck your culture, in 3 easy steps”
The 3 steps of first-time leader failure, often goes like this:
1. A top individual contributor is selected and promoted to leader, without any assessment
2. The first-time leader is not trained or receives improper training
3. Without the necessary assessment and training, often the first-time leader will fail and choose to leave their organization, rather than face the career long embarrassment of returning to their pre-promotion role.
