See You at the Top of the Mountain With Tiffany Prince

Episode notes

"Those at the top of the mountain didn't fall there." -Vince Lombardi In this episode of A Leadership Beyond we had the pleasure of interviewing Tiffany Prince, author of Top of the Mountain Leadership . Tiffany refers to herself as an "accidental trainer." She excelled as an individual contributor in biotech pharma and was promoted. She found herself thrust into a position with responsibility for others. She quickly realized this challenge required new and different skills than her technical position. This seems like a no-brainer to this audience, but Tiffany points out from her research that 70% of leaders are not given leadership development support when they step into a new leadership role. Or the new leaders are thrown into a comprehensive, one size fits all program with no follow up - the "leadership training" box is checked. There is a great cost to failing to provide strategic leadership training and career development support. Among them: losing good talent, drain on employee engagement, lower innovation, unproductive teams. This conversation is full of tips from Tiffany's research and personal experience.
