From Doer to Leader: Redefining Competence in Your New Role (Ep 321)

There is a thought a lot of managers carry around and almost never say out loud: “Honestly, my direct report is a stronger performer than I am.” If you have had some version of that thought, it usually shows up with a little shame attached. And the standard response, someone telling you that you are great and you do it better than your employee, tends to bounce right off. It does not fix anything, because it is aimed at the wrong problem. Here is what is actually going on. For your whole career, being good meant one thing: I know the most, I do it best, people come to me when the work is hard. Then you got promoted, and the definition of competence quietly changed. Nobody told you the new rules. So you are standing in a new role, still grading yourself with the old ruler, and of course you come up short. In Episode 321, Ramona breaks down:<ul><li>Why “my report is a stronger performer than I am” is an apples-to-oranges error, not a verdict on you</li><li>What actually happens in your brain when your competence feels threatened, and why it registers like survival</li><li>The quiet trap of comparing your year one to someone else’s year five</li><li>The “which chair are you sitting in?” test that pulls you back into the right seat</li></ul> If you have ever caught yourself diving back into the technical work because it is the one place you still feel sharp, this episode will show you what to do instead. <a href="https://youtu.be/MeNsJzltw-c" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(85, 85, 85);">Watch on YouTube</a> Resources mentioned in this episode<ul><li>The Leadership Accelerator, Archova’s 90-day manager readiness program for new and early-stage managers: <a href="https://archova.org/leadership-accelerator" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">archova.org/leadership-accelerator</a></li><li>Free Masterclass, the 4 shifts to lead as a new manager: <a href="https://archova.org/masterclass" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">archova.org/masterclass</a></li><li>“The Confident & Competent New Manager” by Ramona Shaw: <a href="https://archova.org/books" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">archova.org/books</a>  (also on Amazon: <a href="https://amzn.to/3TuOdcP" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">amzn.to/3TuOdcP</a>)</li><li>CEB research finding that 60% of new managers fail or underperform in their first 18 months, referenced in the episode</li></ul>Links<ul><li>Schedule a Leadership Strategy Call with Ramona: <a href="https://calendly.com/ramonashaw/leadership-strategy-session" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">calendly.com/ramonashaw/leadership-strategy-session</a></li><li>Grab the free New Manager Toolkit mentioned in the episode: <a href="https://archova.org/freetoolkits" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">archova.org/freetoolkits</a></li><li>Turn your 1-on-1 meetings into your most valuable meeting of the week: <a href="https://archova.org/1on1-course" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">archova.org/1on1-course</a></li><li>Grab Ramona’s best-selling book “The Confident & Competent New Manager”: <a href="https://amzn.to/3TuOdcP" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">amzn.to/3TuOdcP</a></li></ul> Other episodes you might like<ul><li>Episode 256 – The Leadership Identity Shift: From Executor to Influencer  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_KXIyEjNAY" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">youtube.com/watch?v=L_KXIyEjNAY</a></li><li>Episode 311 – Delegating: When Stepping In Becomes Stepping On  <a href="https://www.ramonashaw.com/delegation-for-managers/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">ramonashaw.com/delegation-for-managers</a></li></ul> What’s next?<ul><li>Learn more about our leadership development programs, coaching and workshops at <a href="https://archova.org" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">archova.org</a>.</li><li>Want to better understand your leadership style and patterns?
