Join us for another episode of The Human Edge Show.

The podcast dedicated to helping technical experts become wonderful leaders.

This week: Leadership Insight for New Leaders and their Bosses with James Dickinson

The Human Edge Show's focus is to help new leaders and managers successfully make the biggest transition in their careers: The transition from ‘doing stuff’ to ‘leading and managing people’.

We call it “Crossing the Doing to Leading Chasm”.

The early-stage steps we take as new managers and leaders are like crossing a minefield.

How can we get across safely and avoid the landmines?

This podcast aims to:

✅ Give you a metal detector to help you identify and defuse those landmines

✅ Provide you with practical ideas, techniques, and tools to guide you through this tumultuous and challenging time.

✅ Help you more quickly and easily level up your capability and confidence.

So, you can get moving quickly and positively … much more like a poised leopard and much less like a nervous meerkat.
