Shownotes

In this episode of the Thoughtful Entrepreneur, your host Josh Elledge speaks to the President of Pinnacle Performance, Jeremy Doran.

One of the main topics Jeremy dove into was the often challenging transition from being an excellent producer to stepping up as a manager. This is a scenario many professionals, especially those with engineering and technical backgrounds, find themselves in. When you transition from a producer to a manager, the game changes significantly as you shift from focusing on details and tasks to a higher-level perspective.

The transition requires a new skill set that places leadership and communication at the forefront. It's no longer just about your output but about how you can inspire and guide a team to achieve collective goals. This can be a daunting shift, but it's crucial for the growth of the individual and the organization.

Jeremy discussed the power of effective communication in the workplace. It's not just about conveying information but about connecting with people on a deeper level. Active listening plays a vital role here. It's about truly hearing what others are saying, understanding their perspective, and responding in a way that shows you value their input.

Jeremy's podcast, "How to Talk to Weirdos," tackles this issue. The title might raise eyebrows, but it's a candid take on workplace diversity. We all have our quirks and idiosyncrasies, and learning to communicate effectively with people who might not share our views or approaches is a skill worth mastering.
