Improvement and adaptability are our two most important abilities for survival. Just focusing on continuous performance improvement will not necessarily sustain an organization. Adapting to our everchanging world is important to remain relevant.

When you transition from individual performer to first-time leader, often you inherit something you did not create. Unless you are an entrepreneur, hiring your first employees, you inherit everything, including the Vision, the Mission, the people, the culture and organizational history.

Delegation is the process of entrusting another person, to perform something other than their primary responsibility. In this episode you will learn why delegation is more than getting things done.

Often top performing individuals are promoted to a leader role, based on their current performance. The flawed assumption is, they will be successful leading people, just as they led themselves, as an individual performer.

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.

Perspective is not what you look at it’s what you see. It’s your point of view of the world. Everyone sees things differently. Five people could watch an event and each might have a different recollection, based on their perspective. We are all born with varying perspectives and our perspectives continue to be developed by our surroundings.
