Introduction to Transitioning Leaders Series

In this episode of the Psych in Business podcast, your host Dr. Ernest Wayde introduces an upcoming series on transitioning leaders. He highlights the crucial issue of leaders often lacking formal training before or during their roles, emphasizing the impact on their ability to lead effectively.

Dr. Wayde discusses the importance of addressing this gap in leadership knowledge and introduces three experienced guests—Dr. Connie Schroyer, Dr. Marlene Thorn, and Dr. Dee Ramsel—who facilitate a leadership development program for psychologists transitioning into leadership roles.

The upcoming series will explore three key facets of leadership: understanding and leading oneself, understanding and leading others, and understanding and leading the business. Each guest will lead an episode focusing on these areas, covering topics such as emotional intelligence, self-awareness, self-management, roles and responsibilities of leaders, and business management fundamentals.

Dr. Wayde emphasizes the applicability of these concepts to any transitioning leader, regardless of their industry or role. The series aims to provide a general understanding and a starting point for those lacking knowledge or experience in leadership, ultimately helping leaders

become more effective and better managers. Listeners can expect insights into self-discovery, feedback, performance management, and essential business skills. The series promises to be a valuable resource for both new and experienced leaders seeking to enhance their leadership capabilities. Tune in next week to join the conversation and gain a high-level overview of these critical leadership concepts.
