Description

Managing Managers for the First Time

I thought this would be just like leading my old team, but bigger. I was so wrong.

If This Sounds Like You, This Episode Is Essential:

❌ Your old success moves now create bottlenecks

❌ Direct instructions that used to work are failing

❌ You feel like you're failing at everything

❌ Your confidence has been knocked sideways

❌ You're drowning in detail instead of leading

The Uncomfortable Truth

Managing managers isn't a scaled-up version of your old job. It's an entirely different game - and most leaders are thrown into it without a roadmap.

What You'll Learn

✅ The identity shift that's messing with your head

✅ Why you're avoiding the conversations you need to have

✅ The four critical mistakes every new leader makes

✅ Your inner critic voices and how they're sabotaging you

✅ The reframe that changes everything

Perfect If You're:

Recently promoted to manage other managers

Feeling overwhelmed and out of your depth

Missing the days when you "just got things done"

Ready to stop struggling and start leading with confidence


This episode could be the turning point that helps you see this transition for what it truly is and gives you the clarity to navigate it successfully.

🎧 Listen now - because you're not supposed to have all the answers anymore.
