Are You Finding Your New Leadership Role more Challenging than Expected?
Have you found yourself thinking:
You want to excel in your new role and be an effective and confident leader so you've ...
Undertaken Training
BUT these programs only deal with the tasks of a leader, not the real-life challenges involved with stepping into your first leadership role.
Talked to Other New Leaders
BUT they are grappling with many of the same issues and have no idea how to effectively handle them either.
Talked to Your Manager.
who certainly tried to give what time they could, BUT given their own pressing commitments, it simply wasn't enough to fully support your leadership development needs.
Don't Worry!
You're Not Alone!
Leaders-in-transition commonly experience anxiety, stress, uncertainty, loneliness, isolation and self-doubt. Moving from a place of confidence and performance, to one where you lack the information and understanding to be effective, poses a significant psychological challenge.
Being a subject matter expert, high-performing team member, or doing what you’ve always done is not enough. Leading a team needs more and different capabilities, tools, processes, and approaches.
Recent research shows:
- 87% of first-time leaders feel frustrated, anxious, and uncertain about their new role.
- 60% of leaders say they never received training when transitioning into their first leadership role.
- 60% of new leaders fail in the first year.
Hi, I'm Shelley, Founder and Head Leadership Coach at the Human Services Leadership Academy.
Taking on your first leadership position is often a daunting and overwhelming process.
When I started out as a new leader in the human services field, I was full of ambition and passion to make a positive impact. Just like you, I had the desire to lead and inspire a team to make a difference in the lives of the people we served.
But Then ...
I was hit with the stark realities of leadership.
I really wanted to be an effective and supportive leader, so I tried ...
Facade of Strength
I masked anxieties and uncertainties, believing leadership meant showing no weakness – yet, this heightened internal pressure and isolation, and hindered growth.
Sink or Swim
I dove headfirst into leadership challenges hoping to learn through trial and error - only to find it increased stress without delivering the desired learning outcomes.
Working Harder
I put in long hours to compensate for a lack of confidence - but this led to sheer exhaustion without significant improvement in leadership skills or confidence.
Each attempt felt like a failure,
and with each setback, I questioned "Am I really cut out to be a leader?"
Over time I discovered that the answer to that question was yes, but the road to that conclusion was a long and bumpy one.
Reflecting on my own journey, I started noticing similar patterns in others around me. Over the span of my 20+ years as a Social Worker and Leadership Coach, I have seen countless human service professionals grappling with the same struggles, trying to balance their desire to lead with the reality of their challenging roles.
And that's when it hit me!
