❌ Connect the work to the human being ✅ Connect the human being to the work 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘥𝘰 𝘸𝘦 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯 𝘣𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴, 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘪𝘵! 𝘱𝘦𝘦𝘱𝘴? For starters, we’re saying that when you prioritize each individual team member - their core values, their short-term and long-term goals, their worries and their hopes - you connect them to the work. What follows? This team member is empowered to engage in the 100% unique ways only they can, since they’ve been seen, heard, and valued as their whole person, not just as an employee. If you start with the work and connect it to the individual team member, those 100% unique ways only they can engage get lost in the sauce, as we like to say. What follows? Good work, but more generic work that lacks connection and passion behind it. In today’s episode, Erin will give you the how-to for monthly intention-setting, the benefits you’ll see once you implement this with your team, and some laughs along the way. Press play now!

Are you transitioning from an individual contributor role to a leadership position? If yes, you’re in for a treat. If no, you're in for truth nuggets aplenty to add to your toolkit. In this episode, Erin brings on leadership coach, Ramona Shaw, to give you five EASY steps to go from peer to manager in no time! In this episode, you will hear: The biggest mistake first-time managers make Key leadership habits to become a confident leader Five tangible steps to make a seamless transition from individual contributor to leader Show Links: Want to get your team Hybrid Hyped? Check out this free download Send us a voice message here! Did today’s episode resonate with you? Please leave us a review! About Ramona Shaw: Studies have found that 40-60% of high-performing employees fail or underperform when appointed as managers within their first two years on the job. Since the vast majority of new managers never receive the leadership training essential for success in their role, high rates of failure result. Such situations are costly for both the managers who fear demotions or losing out on salary increases and promotions, as well as the organizations that lose talent and productivity. In response to this issue, Ramona Shaw runs The Leadership Accelerator, a 12-week program that coaches first-time managers to become confident, competent leaders who deliver results and who people love to work with. Through the program, she has helped hundreds of new managers at startups and leading companies — including Google, Twitch, Asana, Lionsgate, and Dropbox — successfully transition into leadership roles. Before becoming a leadership coach, Ramona worked at Partners Group, a global private markets firm with $127B in assets under management and over 1,500 professionals across 20 offices worldwide. At the firm, Ramona moved from a Junior Financial Analyst to Vice President in under six years. Connect with Ramona Shaw: Instagram LinkedIn Connect with Erin Diehl: Instagram LinkedIn improve it!
