The New Manager Dilemma: Promoted, But Not Prepared
What happens when someone gets promoted into a leadership role... and then left to figure it out on their own? In this episode, we’re talking about the all-too-common experience of becoming a manager without the training, tools, or support to succeed — and what organizations can do about it.
Host Paul Bolton, Director of Business Development at the Leadership Louisville Center, is joined by Adrian Davis, global leadership trainer and founder of Momentum University, and Don Woolridge, Sr., Director of Leadership Development at the Leadership Louisville Center. Together, they explore how to close the gap between promotion and preparation — with real-world stories, practical insights, and some much-needed truth-telling about what it takes to build confident, capable leaders.
Whether you're stepping into leadership for the first time or realizing it's time to sharpen your skills, this conversation is for you.
