Leadership Caffeine Podcast #7: Kevin Eikenberry on Making the Shift from “Bud to Boss”

Summary: The most difficult job in the professional life of any leader may very well be that first role…when he or she moves from individual contributor to suddenly being responsible for the outcomes of others. This truly critical issue receives some much needed attention in the recent book, Bud to Boss-Secrets to a Successful Transition to Remarkable Leadership, by consultants, authors and leadership experts, Kevin Eikenberry and Guy Harris, in their recent book, Bud to Boss. While the focus is on helping the first time leader successfully transition from one of the gang to leader, this book is important for those responsible for developing and supporting first-time leaders as well.
