Why individual star performers often make mediocre managers? 👇👇👇 Because very often, the very same things that made them successful as an individual performer are working against them when they become leaders: 🔹Stellar performance record that put these star performers on the map often means that they rarely needed coaching, so often they lack experience in coaching and developing others. 🔹Ambition and drive that got them to the “star” level usually mean that they have no idea how to deal with people who lack motivation. 🔹A high success rate often translates into a limited experience of reflecting on and learning from failures. Skills that got them promoted to the leadership position will not make them great leaders. 🏆 Leadership requires a different skillset and a real behavioral and mindset shift, which starts with developing self-awareness and creating a leadership roadmap. What do you think is the biggest challenge of switching from an "individual performer" to a "leadership" mode? #leadership #humanresources #leadershipdevelopment
