Leadership: Time, Listening and Feedback | Be More Effective Podcast with Jon Mason

Why do so many people struggle when they move into leadership? In this episode of the Be More Effective Podcast, Jon Mason explains why the step up into leadership is so hard, and why so many new leaders fail in their first 18 months. He shows why faking it until you make it does not work, and how to find the levers you already have. He talks about the make it happen people who usually get promoted, and what changes once they get there: taking time, protecting time and building key relationships. He explains A plus B: keep what you are good at and add the new behaviours, rather than trying to become someone else. He shows why leaders need to learn to be collegial, because leadership runs on soft power. He looks at why people leave managers, not jobs, and why most people need regular feedback rather than an annual appraisal. And he finishes with why developing great people will never work you out of a job. Jon is based in New Zealand. He and his wife Sarah specialise in analysing, aligning and improving team effectiveness, and Jon has worked with the Birkman Method for more than 20 years.
