How do "Type A" people become managers without internally combusting?
Emily Sander has an impressive rap sheet. Among her achievements: being on the testing team for the first Kindle device, working on a 6-person startup team, building a global client management team from scratch, serving as a Chief of Staff for a CEO, and most notably (in my book - no pun intended!), an author.
In our conversation today - she shares her own career story and what she learned the hard way as she was suddenly thrust into a management position with zero training, and had to get scrappy, adjust her perfectionist tendencies, and figure out a way to uplevel, fast.
Emily now has a leadership coaching practice and serves clients around the world and at various stages of their growth: from seasoned executives to first-time managers, and motivated individual contributors who are ready to level up.
Emily's book is called Hacking Executive Leadership and helps new leaders execute from a place of confidence and humility. You can pick up your copy on Amazon or wherever books are sold.
