Hey Friend,
Have you ever been thrust into a leadership position without any formal training, suddenly responsible for leading your former bosses and peers? In this episode of our podcast, "Start with Self Leadership," I, Dr. Patrice Buckner Jackson (PBJ), share my personal journey through such a challenging transition.
We delve into why individuals are often promoted based on job performance rather than true leadership skills and discuss the critical need for providing new leaders with the appropriate support and resources. I'll take you through my own transformation from a student assistant to an associate registrar, highlighting how proper preparation for leadership roles is crucial.
But leadership isn’t solely about managing others—it’s also about mastering self-leadership. This episode explores the personal challenges leaders face, like imposter syndrome and negative self-beliefs, which can undermine our potential. You'll hear about a mentor of mine who exemplified balancing professional achievements with strong personal values, showcasing the importance of setting boundaries and recognizing your unique talents.
We also cover the power of team collaboration, sharing a compelling story where embracing each team member's strengths led to consistent success. True leadership begins with oneself, and by valuing both individual and team brilliance, we can foster a more harmonious and effective leadership environment.
Join me as we unpack these essential lessons in leadership and self-discovery. Don’t miss out on a special incentive we’re offering to our dedicated listeners this episode!
