📢 Stepping into a new leadership role? Here’s what you need to know!
Many leaders are promoted because of past success, but excelling in a new position requires a mindset shift, strategic thinking, and adaptability. In Episode 4 of Managing High-Stress Projects Q&A, I sit down with Tom Witterholt to uncover the essential strategies for leaders stepping into new roles or industries.
🔍 Key Takeaways from Our Discussion:
✔ Don’t over-rely on past success – Each role demands a fresh perspective.
✔ Learn beyond your expertise – True leadership extends outside your comfort zone.
✔ Ask the right questions – But ensure curiosity isn’t misinterpreted as direct orders.
✔ Balance oversight and autonomy – Avoid micromanagement while maintaining control.
✔ Observe, adapt, and evolve – Every leadership level brings new challenges & expectations.
🎙️ Featuring: Tom Witterholt – 34+ years of experience in program & portfolio management, leading complex transformations.
