Have you ever thought about how leaders get into leadership?  Most are promoted into a managerial role or leadership role because they were good at their job, not because they had the skills or experience.  Isn’t that crazy how any other field requires some experience or qualification at the entry point?   The most important skills for the job are overlooked and sadly, many times not even a focus to be developed.  The result?  Negative outcomes that impact businesses everyday.  In this episode, Maria discusses the cause and impact of this problem in leadership and how to escape it.  Leaders that recognize their need to gain the skills and experience are the ones that have the best outcomes, for themselves, the business and their people.
