The transition from individual contributor to manager is never easy.  New managers need to take responsibility not just for their own performance, but also for that of team.  They need to place less emphasis on doing, and much more on the essential skills of leading, influencing and communicating.  Core to this is the development of a “leadership mindset”.  But what is a leadership mindset?  And what steps can managers and their organisations take to better develop the right mindset and perspectives for leadership?To discuss this I am delighted to be joined on the Brain for Business podcast by Professor Bret Crane.Bret Crane is an Associate Professor of Leadership at the Jon.
