Leadership transitions can be tough to execute. In fact, more than 40% of executive transitions fail within the first 18 months. And sadly, this isn't a new phenomenon — which leads us to the big questions of why this keeps occurring and what can organizations do about it.

Joining us this week is Navid Nazemian, an executive coach and unparalleled expert on executive transitions to the C-Suite. Navid is the author of "Mastering Executive Transitions: The Definitive Guide" and has helped the executives at some of the world's most admired organizations successfully manage transitions into new roles.

Navid's research identified three major reasons for these failures: people, culture, and politics. It's not the case that organizations choose incompetent officers, but rather it's these so-called "soft topics" that most often get in the way! And when transitions go wrong, entire organizations suffer.

Sometimes we all need people who believe in us more than we do ourselves. Women who do not feel supported in the workplace are more likely not to ask for help or promotions, or to drop out of the workforce altogether. As leaders, it's imperative to lift others up, and women, in particular, need strong leaders supporting them in the workplace now more than ever.

In this episode, Jane Finette, author of "Unlocked: How Empowered Women Empower Women" and the founder of The Coaching Fellowship, joins the Building Better Managers podcast to help us better understand both what it means and what it takes to empower your women leaders.

The Great Resignation is being fueled by a lot of different factors, but employee development has emerged as a major player. Research shows that 94% of employees are staying longer in organizations where they feel like there's an investment being made in their development. And employees that actually like their current jobs are still almost 8 TIMES more eager to leave if they're not seeing that commitment to development.

Julie Winkle Giulioni returns to the podcast to talk about how the ideas in her new book "Why Are Promotions So Yesterday?" can help managers and leaders navigate the current risks and challenges when dealing with promotions, careers, career development, and employee satisfaction and retention.
