60-80% of managers have ZERO formal leadership training. Is your organization creating accidental managers?

In this episode, executive coach Bernadette Boas exposes the hidden crisis destroying teams across corporate America: unprepared and untrained talented professionals promoted into leadership roles without the training, mindset, or support to actually lead.

In This Episode, You'll Discover:

• Why 60-80% of managers never receive formal leadership training—and the devastating impact on teams, culture, and business results

• The 5 ways to stop the cycle of advancing or hiring professionals not prepared for leadership

• How to identify leadership readiness BEFORE promoting your top performers

• Why redefining success metrics from personal to team outcomes changes everything

• The power of leadership onboarding programs, mentorship, and mastermind communities

• How to hold leaders accountable for people development (and tie it to compensation)

• The bonus strategy: Creating alternative career paths for high performers who shouldn't manage people

Your Call to Action: Assess your current management pipeline. Ask yourself: Are my managers leading intentionally, or are they surviving accidentally? What do they need to become powerhouse people leaders?
