Michael de Lisser has spent over 25 years helping leaders bridge the gap between technical expertise and high-impact leadership. Growing up watching his father coach Fortune 100 executives on communication, Michael realized early on that technical skills might get you promoted, but communication skills are what keep you from getting fired.In this episode, Michael breaks down why high-potential employees often struggle when transitioning into management. He explains that companies frequently fail to provide the right tools for leading people, leaving new managers to rely on old habits that no longer serve them. Michael shares his framework for using emotional intelligence and personality tools like Insights Discovery to build self-awareness and leverage team strengths.Connect with Michael:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-delisser-62b4297/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/michael.delisser.7/YouTube: @deLisserLeadershipConsulting Website: https://www.delisserconsulting.com/Alexander V.
