HBR Presents

I'm Uriel Wilkins and season three of coaching real leaders is just around the corner,

which means you can once again join me behind the closed

doors of real coaching sessions as leaders from around the globe address the issue standing in their

way. This season will hear from leaders facing challenges like, how do I move from being a subject

matter expert to a business leader? It's a gift and a curse in some ways because the career which I have built

in this company has propelled in some ways or form by what I have achieved in this specific area.

But it's also got to a place where it defines me as a person in terms of what I bring to the table.

I genuinely would think, yeah, there is a lot more I

could offer. How do I hold my team and ultimately myself more accountable? I need to stop doing it all

myself and bring this talented team along for the ride and actually let go. I've always been one who gives trust. Yet my actions

tell my team, I think, that I don't trust them. And how do I show I can do more than the career

track that I'm on? I could just follow that track and be here 30 years from today doing the same

kind of job.

And I realized that that's not what I want to do.

I want more than that.

I eventually want to have people working under me that I can mentor and coach and grow into a real organization within the organization, if you will.

I'm excited to share these leaders journeys with you when Coaching Real Leaders returns
