While it’s absurd to imagine that anyone can go from passenger to pilot without the appropriate investment, it is unfortunately an all too common experience for team members becoming people leaders.

A person spends most of their career as a subject matter expert, being measured and rewarded according to one set of capabilities. Then, because of those capabilities – or just through longevity – they find themselves thrust behind the controls of the plane (team) and, without any support or training, told to ‘go lead’. Not only do they feel the pressure of a new, complex role but they also carry the weight of responsibility for all the ‘passengers’ on board. It isn’t surprising, then, that so many new people leaders feel overwhelmed or even burn out.

“Leadership is complex but it doesn’t need to be complicated.”

Research from Gallup found that just one in ten people possessed a ‘high talent to manage’. However they also found that an additional two out of ten had the ‘potential’ if invested in.
