Expanded responsibilities require enhanced leadership skills
The impact on high-performers of moving to a role with more authority and responsibility is often underestimated. The skills and experience that caused organizations to promote these leaders aren’t always sufficient to drive success in their new jobs.
Job transitions require individuals to navigate multiple layers of change—including identity and sense of self, relationships with colleagues, and everyday work routines. Successful, ongoing career advancement calls for tailored coaching support to help leaders adjust to these changes and grow into their new roles.
ADP research into the unintended effects of promotions found that within a month after receiving their first promotion, 29% of people had left their employer.
