Launch to Impact Leadership Podcast: Episode 6: Preparing to Be Next

Описание: In this episode of the Launch to Impact Leadership Podcast, I ask you a simple but important question:
👉 If a leadership opportunity opened up today, would you be ready?

Most people think leadership readiness is about having the right resume, title, or years of experience. But true leadership preparedness is less about what you’ve done and more about who you are becoming.

In this conversation, I break down the difference between supervision, management, and leadership, and I talk about how prepared leaders build capacity in advance.

I also unpack why the next generation of leaders will stand out because of their resilience, perseverance, and ingenuity—not just their knowledge—and what that means for emerging leaders today.

Whether you’re currently a supervisor, manager, or aspiring executive, this episode will help you understand your current role, prepare for your next one, and build the kind of leadership presence that opportunities are drawn to.

Key Takeaways:

✔️ Leadership readiness is about capacity, not just credentials. Prepared leaders practice decision-making, communication, and emotional stability before the title arrives.

✔️ Supervision, management, and leadership are not the same. Supervisors drive daily performance, managers design systems over time, and leaders define direction and culture for lasting impact.

✔️ You must shift from doer to developer. As you grow, your work is less about getting everything done yourself and more about building people, systems, and accountability structures.

✔️ Resilience, perseverance, and ingenuity set next-generation leaders apart. You need the ability to recover, stay consistent when results aren’t instant, and make things work with what you have right now.
