Épisode 66

jeudi 7 août 2025 • Durée 29:29

Guest - Heather Italiano, High-Energy Speaker and Facilitator
Book - The 5 Levels of Leadership by John Maxwell

Are your employees following you because they want to, or because they have to? In this episode, Heather Italiano unpacks the Five Levels of Leadership and how new managers can build trust, increase influence, and avoid falling into the trap of positional leadership.

Have you ever felt like your team only listens because they have to, not because they want to?

That’s the reality for many first-time managers. In this Leadership Podcast for New Managers, guest Heather Italiano joins me to explore how to build trust as a manager and move beyond positional leadership into real influence. We’re talking about team dynamics, managing up, and the moment your title stops being enough.

Heather breaks down John Maxwell’s Five Levels of Leadership and explains how even experienced leaders can fall back to level one when trust erodes. Plus, she shares her practical CARES framework to help you connect with your team in a way that builds loyalty, commitment, and results.

If you’re trying to fix a toxic culture, handle conflict at work as a manager, or simply become a better leader, this episode is your blueprint.

By the time you finish listening, you’ll learn:

Why Better Time Management Won't Fix Your Team's Problems

jeudi 5 juin 2025 • Durée 17:16

If you’ve ever said, “I just need to manage my time better,” or “If they were more efficient, we’d be fine,” this episode is for you.

In today’s conversation, we’re flipping the script on strengths and weaknesses at work. While most people focus on improving tactical skills like organization or productivity, the real game-changer is how we show up relationally. You’ll learn how relational weaknesses, like defensiveness, passive-aggressive behavior, and poor communication, are quietly killing trust and morale on your team, even when everything looks like it’s running smoothly.

Whether you're leading a team or just trying to be a better teammate, this episode will help you see the true cause of disconnection, and what to do about it.

🧠 In this episode, you’ll learn:

Why improving your tactical skills might not fix your team problems
The difference between tactical and relational strengths and weaknesses
Real-world relational weaknesses that silently destroy workplace culture
What it really means to be defensive (and how to shift it)
Why being approachable matters more than being available
How to start showing up as a human-centered leader... today

Love + Work: Finding Joy in Your Job Isn’t a Luxury - It’s a Necessity!

jeudi 29 mai 2025 • Durée 32:44

We read the book Love + Work By Marcus Buckingham so you don't have to!

Can you really love your job - or is that just wishful thinking? In this episode, Desiree and guest Tessa Kampen unpack Love + Work by Marcus Buckingham and what it means for new leaders trying to build careers that actually light them up.

Show Notes:
Last week we talked about redefining leadership with Craig Denison - how breaking the mold can make you a stronger, more authentic leader.

This week, we’re asking a question many leaders are afraid to face:

What if you’re succeeding... but in the wrong thing?

In this conversation, Tessa Kampen joins Desiree to break down the lessons inside Marcus Buckingham’s Love + Work and what every leader needs to know about burnout, joy, and doing work that matters.

If you're constantly putting out fires, questioning your path, or wondering why you feel so disconnected even in a “good” job - this episode will hit home.

Spoiler: Joy at work isn’t optional. It’s strategic.

By the time you finish listening, you’ll discover:

How to identify your “red threads” (and why they’re crucial to career longevity)
Why only loving 20% of your job can drastically reduce burnout
What leaders can do today to create more joy and connection on their team

When you finish listening, we'd love to hear your biggest takeaway from today’s episode. Find us on LinkedIn, and share what hit home for you!

Take 30 seconds to ask your team what part of their job they love most - and what they wish they could do more of. The answers might surprise you - and help you lead more effectively.

Can You Be Authentic at Work Without Losing Respect?

jeudi 22 mai 2025 • Durée 17:14

Are authenticity and professionalism at odds, or are we just defining them wrong?

If you're a first-time manager trying to gain respect without losing yourself, you’re not alone. Most new leaders feel stuck between “being real” and “being taken seriously,” and it’s affecting your executive presence, your team’s trust, and how you show up in every meeting.

The truth? You don’t have to choose.

Authenticity and professionalism aren’t enemies. They’re tools. And when you know how to use both, you’ll finally feel like the leader you were meant to be.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:
• Why being authentic doesn’t mean oversharing (and being professional doesn’t mean polished to perfection)
• The mindset shift that helps you show up as you, without losing credibility
• How to define expectations and culture so you can confidently lead with clarity

When you finish listening, I'd love to hear your biggest takeaway from today’s episode.

How the Right Frameworks Turn Fear into Confidence | Craig Denison

Épisode 90

jeudi 24 avril 2025 • Durée 39:01

What if you're not a bad leader—just using the wrong blueprint? Craig Denison shares how practical tools and mindset shifts can turn anxious new managers into confident, empowered leaders.

Craig Denison is the creator of 90 Day Leader, a framework-based leadership development program designed to help new and accidental managers lead with confidence, without burning out. He's also a former team member of Patrick Lencioni’s Table Group, and a firm believer that leadership is more about clarity and humility than charisma.

Last week we talked about why great team meetings aren’t about structure, they’re about trust. This week, we’re digging into what happens when you don’t feel like you fit the “leader mold” and how to build confidence anyway.

Have you ever felt like you just weren’t cut out to be a manager? Like you don’t have the charisma, confidence, or presence that a “real” leader is supposed to have? You’re not alone, and more importantly, you’re not wrong for feeling that way.

In this episode, Craig Denison shares how the internal archetypes we build of what leadership should look like often stop us from showing up as ourselves—and what to do instead. Whether you’re introverted, unsure, or unexpectedly promoted, this conversation will help you let go of the pressure to be “the boss” and start leading in a way that feels good and actually works.

We cover:

What makes leadership feel like a burden (and how to shift it to a privilege)
Why humility and self-awareness matter more than confidence
Two practical tools you can use TODAY to become a more empowered leader

Key Takeaways

Most new leaders aren’t trained, they’re just promoted. Frameworks help fill that gap.
Trying to mimic a “perfect” leader archetype makes leadership harder (and less effective).
Humility is the shortcut to peace, progress, and better team performance.

I also share a personal story of what happens when a job doesn’t align with expectations. If you’re ready to stop the cycle of disengagement and build a team that thrives, this episode is for you!

Ever wonder why some hires seem disengaged just months into the job? It might have started with your job description.

Many leaders focus too much on hiring for titles instead of hiring for tasks. The result? New hires who quickly realize the job isn't what they expected. Tessa Kampen joins me today to discuss how leaders can create strength-based hiring processes that lead to engaged, high-performing teams.

We’re covering:

The #1 hiring mistake that leads to early disengagement
Why job descriptions should focus on tasks, not just titles

Strengths vs. Skills: Are You Leading from Your True Strengths? | Tessa Kampen

Épisode 86

jeudi 3 avril 2025 • Durée 30:02

Just because you’re good at something doesn’t mean it’s the right thing for you. In this episode, We explore the difference between strengths, gifts, and competencies, and how they impact leadership. Learn how to lean into your true strengths, avoid burnout, and build a strengths-based culture that actually lasts.

Have you ever felt drained at work, even though you're good at what you do? Or wondered why a job that once energized you now feels exhausting? You’re not alone. Many new managers and experienced leaders alike struggle with distinguishing between what they excel at and what truly fuels them.

In this episode, we explore:

The difference between strengths, gifts, and competencies, and why knowing this can change how you lead.
How to recognize when your “strength” is actually just a skill you’ve built over time.
What to do when you feel obligated to stay in a role because it's needed, even if it drains you.

I also share a real-life example from a listener who is great at her job but finds it emotionally exhausting. We discuss whether finding fulfillment outside of work can be enough to offset frustration in a draining role.

As a leader, it’s your job to help your team align their strengths with their responsibilities while balancing the demands of the business. But that’s easier said than done. How do you build a strengths-based culture that doesn’t fade when the day-to-day demands pile up? That’s what we’ll be tackling in the next episode with my guest, Tessa Kampen.

Key Takeaways:

Just because you're good at something doesn’t mean you should be doing it.
Strengths are what energize you, gifts and competencies are just skills you’ve developed.
Leaders must be intentional about building a strengths-based culture that lasts beyond a workshop.

In this episode, leadership coach Joe Raasch joins me to break down the challenges new managers face when stepping into leadership for the first time. We discuss the mindset shift from individual contributor to people leader, how to stop micromanaging, and why leadership is more than just getting things done.

In this episode, leadership coach Joe and I dive into:

Why so many top performers struggle as new managers
The difference between doing the work and leading the people
How micromanaging isn’t always about control, it’s about comfort
