In this episode of The Leader U Podcast, host Angie Lion from Black River Performance Management dives into the critical distinction between enthusiasm and competence in the workplace. While initial excitement for a new job is important, it doesn’t necessarily equate to the skills needed for long-term success. Angie emphasizes the importance of building competence through self-leadership, being open to asking for help, and committing to personal development. As enthusiasm wanes and reality sets in, the ability to adapt, learn new skills, and invest in your growth becomes essential for career fulfillment and confidence. This episode will inspire you to take charge of your professional journey, advocate for yourself, and enhance your impact within your organization.
