Leading people is the most important responsibility in the world, yet nearly 60% of first-time leaders fail.

Using my four decades of experience for leader development and culture improvement, I created this podcast to help you prevent these recurring failures and accelerate the transformation of the right people to people-centered leaders.

This podcast is dedicated to first-time leaders, those of you who hire and promote first-time leaders and you solopreneurs who hired your first people.

I’m Timothy Dean Smith, your host and coach.

At the end of each month, from January through July, you can expect bite-sized episodes, containing insight you will benefit from immediately, regardless of your level or industry.
