390: This high impact leader is helping first-time managers be awesome at their jobs.
About this episode
In this interview, Matthew McGrath reveals:
- New leaders who overestimate themselves and underestimate the difficulty of their new job do the worst.
- 30% of newly promoted leaders will fail or lose their job within the first 1 1/2 years.
- Every new leader doesn’t have the ability to say…”I’m a beginner. I don’t know.”
- Leaders should see every promotion as a brand new job, a brand new career.
- Character, discipline, hard work are blue-collar values, and that’s the kind of influence I need.
- We all have a calling, a purpose: When the phone rings, are you going to answer?
Over the past 20 years, Matthew has coached over a thousand individuals globally. What gets him out of bed is the motivation of seeing others succeed through his coaching.
Matthew has coached leaders at all levels, including C-Level executives, founders and entrepreneurs, but the place where he feels he can most impact the world's leadership is right where it starts: with newly promoted managers.
Today, Matthew is on a mission to build the world’s premiere community of first-time managers and help them be awesome at their jobs.
