    • 179- Are You Creating Accidental Managers
      Aug 1 2025
      A 60% failure rate is unacceptable in any other part of your business. So why do we accept it for new managers? Companies lose their best technical experts every day by promoting them into leadership roles they aren't equipped for. We call it the "Accidental Manager" trap.

      You give them a new title and more pay, but no training on the single most complex part of the job: leading people.
      The result?
      → Your star performer burns out.
      → Their team disengages.
      → Your best people leave.

      It’s a silent killer of productivity and morale. But it's entirely preventable. In this episode, we break down the proven, step-by-step strategy to turn your high-achievers into high-performing leaders. We cover how to assess for potential, the immediate steps to take post-promotion, and how to find training that actually works.
