Promoted, Not Prepared
For the leader who promoted their best performer – and watched it go wrong
Somewhere in your organisation right now, a genuinely capable person is leading a team they were never actually taught how to lead. Promoted, Not Prepared draws on decades of hands-on consulting to name ten patterns that quietly cost organisations their results, their culture and their best people, told through real client stories.
The stories throughout the book are drawn from real leadership challenges and everyday workplace situations, showing how capable people can struggle when they step into leadership without the right preparation, support or practical tools, including:
- A head chef who wanted to be liked more than he wanted a viable roster
- A CFO who couldn’t understand why “the numbers are fine” wasn’t enough
- An HR coordinator who burned out keeping the peace between two sides who simply wouldn’t budge
Inside, you’ll recognise patterns like:
- They Promoted Me for the Wrong Reasons
- Death by a Thousand Avoided Conversations
- Still Turning Up, Already Checked Out
- Squeezed From Both Ends
- Who’s Driving When You’re Gone?
If you’ve ever looked at your own leadership bench and felt a flicker of recognition, this book was written for you.
