Stuart is joined by author and former VP of US Delivery Operation in the US at UPS, Noel Massie. They discuss some of the challenges faced with promotions into a leadership role.
Getting promoted is one of the most exciting events in a career. Yet many are placed in the role without any knowledge of what it takes to be a leader, let alone a great leader. You’re expected to sink or swim, and most companies don’t provide any support or leadership training either before or after the promotion.
