For a change, today I am not interviewing but being interviewed by Emily Goldsack, from Talogy.

They are doing an international research on leadership and specifically on the progression of managers in their careers, from line management to middle and top management. I was glad to share with them (and now with you) my experience developing leaders in many companies for 25 years. (Thanks, Antonio, for putting us in touch)

I hope you find it interesting, specially if you are starting or moving up in your career as a manager. You can also share it with managers who are doing so.

00:00 What leadership behaviours we expect from leaders in different levels of hierarchy?

04:20 How do these changes develop as managers move up? What are some of the things managers need to stop doing to allocate time to the new challenges?

07:05 Do you have a leadership framework? Self, others and task management & decision making processes.

10:37 How do you differentiate and train these skills between leadership levels?

13:40 What do leaders find more challenging when they move up levels?

20:11 Which level transition is the hardest to make? How do you support people in these transitions and levels?

22:55 Is there anything specific for the development of leaders in these different levels? Is traditional training adequate for top managers?

27:10 Wasting money in training vs. investing in transformation.

30:00 Cultural differences and leadership

34:47 Diversity in generations and values
