Book
Excerpt
New leaders fail for a surprisingly common set of reasons. If you’ve just taken a new leadership role, you may be so caught up in fighting fires that you forget to shut off the gas. Or maybe you suspect you’re lousy at certain aspects of leadership, so you ignore them and hope it won’t bite you. Or, you were so acclaimed in your last job, that you fall back to habit, rather than adjust to make this team successful.
Or, you never learned the rules in the first place! Leadership is an apprenticeship craft. One by-product of the 90’s boom is that your boss and potential mentors are likely to be people who were rapidly promoted during that time – and many of them were moving too fast with too little adult supervision to learn how to lead well themselves.
And, with the downturn, you’ll probably find your company’s leadership development, management training, and onboarding programs slashed to a minimum. Your boss may be stretched so thin that he/she can barely advocate for your team, let alone mentor you. Welcome to your new leadership role - you have a bigger job, in a tougher climate, with very little support!
Based on two decades of coaching executives, helping industry leaders craft strategy, and guiding Stanford MBAs, I’ve brought together a proven set of approaches to teach you what you’ve yet to learn, remind you what you already know, and inspire you to become the best leader you can be in this next job… and your next… and your next.
You can also use these rules to coach your team members to their highest performance. Often, it’s hard for people who do something well (such as leading) to reflect on what they do and break it down so they can teach it to others. Let this book help you grow the leadership on your team, and earn your reputation as a great boss and high-value leader. |

42 Rules for
Your New Leadership Role
The Manual They Didn’t Hand You When
You
Made VP, Director, or Manager
by Pam Fox-Rollin
42 Rules for Your New Leadership Role describes practical and effective actions for you to make a strong start at your new VP, Director, or Manager job. Drawing from more than 50 interviews with respected leaders and the author’s 20 years as a strategy consultant and executive coach, these rules form the manual they forgot to hand you when you got that promotion or offer letter.
Topics include how to gain cooperation from your team, read the business culture at your new level, tee up smart “quick wins”, show others how to work with you, assess the business risks in your new role, make the most of your strengths without overdoing it, work around your weaknesses, use team screw-ups to your advantage, redesign your undoable job, and stay focused on your plan when everyone wants you to fight fires and solve the problems on their desks.
Let this book remind you what you did right before, help you avoid common missteps that cause leaders to stumble, and give you new strategies for acing those critical first months. Adjust what you find here to serve team needs, market condition, cultural context, your goals and your personal leadership style.
Buy this book when you’re making a step up, moving to a new organization, or for your friends as they move up. This book is also an ideal reference for executive coaches, HR business partners, management trainers, executive assistants, and others who help new leaders be successful.
