Managing Our Minds: Before We Manage People (with Ramona Shaw)
from Leadership Development News Hosted by Dr. Cathy Greenberg and Dr. Relly Nadler
Studies have found that 40-60% of high-performing employees fail or underperform when appointed as managers within their first two years on the job. Such situations are costly for both the managers who fear demotions or lose out on salary increases and promotions, as well as the organizations that lose talent and productivity. The cause of this high rate of failure is due to the vast majority of new managers never receiving the leadership training they desperately need to succeed in their role. Ramona Shaw runs The Leadership Accelerator, a 12-week program that coaches first-time managers to become confident and competent leaders who deliver results and who people love to work with. Through the program, she has helped hundreds of new managers at startups and leading companies — including Google, Twitch, Asana, Lionsgate, and Dropbox — successfully transition into leadership roles. Before becoming a leadership coach, Ramona worked at Partners Group, a global private markets firm with $127B in assets under management and over 1,500 professionals across 20 offices worldwide. At the firm, Ramona moved from a Junior Financial Analyst to Vice President in under six years.
