First-Time Leaders Accelerated℠
Leading people is the most important responsibility in the world, yet 60% of first-time leaders fail.
Using my four decades of experience for leader development and culture improvement, I created this podcast to teach you how to prevent three common people problems and accelerate the transformation of the right people to people-centered leaders.
This podcast is dedicated to first-time leaders, those of you who hire and promote first-time leaders and you solopreneurs who hired your first people.
I’m Timothy Dean Smith, your host and coach.
At the end of each month, from January through July, you can expect bite-sized episodes, containing insight you will benefit from immediately, regardless of your responsibilities or industry.

The common problem I solve is twofold:
1. Only 5% of companies have a leader development strategy, because most companies don’t have this competency on staff.
2. 60% of first-time leaders fail
I have a phrase that sums up why 60% of first-time leaders fail. I call it:
“Get rid of your best people and wreck your culture, in 3 easy steps”
The 3 steps of first-time leader failure, often goes like this:
1. A top individual contributor is selected and promoted to leader, without any assessment
2. The first-time leader is not trained or receives improper training
3. Without the necessary assessment and training, often the first-time leader will fail and choose to leave their organization, rather than face the career long embarrassment of returning to their pre-promotion role.
