"This neatly organized book offers readers a guide on how to handle their first leadership position while encouraging those who still might have "1st Timer Syndrome" along a path to eliminating its effects on their lives and careers. The author provides clear, concise steps one can take to become a stronger leader right away. Instead of relying on a systematic approach that involves mastering "becoming a leader" first, the author advocates an approach that directs one to take smaller steps that lead to bigger successes, prioritizing the initial aspects of leadership and building a foundation that readers can build upon as they read the rest of the book..." - The Book Review Directory

"Dr. Assegid Habtewold does a fine job adding his voice to the conversation about emerging leadership and the 1st timer syndrome by covering the key concepts needed for success." - Eddie Turner, Preeminent Authority on Emerging Leaders (Forbes) and #6 Ranked Motivational Speaker in the World on the 2021 Global Gurus Top 30 Rankings

I found "Overcoming 1st Timer Syndrome" extremely useful for individuals, companies, and people working as HR professionals, mentors, coaches, etc. Going back to my memories of struggling in my early career, I wished I could read such an excellent book.

"Every 1st time leader will find extremely valuable suggestions in this book to address a wide variety of leadership challenges and opportunities. Experienced leaders also would benefit from reading this book because it addresses so many of the issues that leaders confront and must address." - Neil E. Grunberg, Ph.D., Leadership scholar and educator

"Dr. AZ leverages his medical and leadership training to bring forward a comprehensive and prescriptive narrative for emerging leaders who are uneasy about their new role and seeking a guide.

From the Author

Hi Friend,

Most new experiences can be terrifying, especially when it's a leadership role. I've been there. I'm speaking from my own experience since the early 90s and the experiences of other first-timers I've helped. I saw first-hand the severe impacts 1st timer syndrome had on many promising emerging leaders. It negatively affected their confidence, wellbeing, relationships, and performance. It was brutal!

That was why I wrote this practical book based on my own experience and other first-timers' whom I've helped. Everything I shared in this book, I have practiced myself and shared with my audiences, coachees, and mentees. This book also revealed the lessons I gained from reading various management and leadership books relevant to new supervisors, project managers, team leaders, and business owners. I incorporated many of the insights, tools, strategies, and tactics I shared when I facilitated workshops and webinars for first-timers in government agencies, corporations, and community organizations, both in the US and Africa.

Whether you're an experienced leader who's dealt with the pressure before and currently mentoring new leaders or an emerging leader who just got their first leadership, I wrote this book for you! The book empowers first-timers to make a smooth transition and excel at their
new leadership roles.

I fully understand that, as a 1st timer, you have to deal with a whole lot of pressure on your shoulders because there's a whole team of people that are relying on you for

direction and guidance — and obviously, you don't wanna disappoint.

My goal in this book is to change the way you view first-time leadership and fully embrace the importance of the role placed upon you, and better yet, become a top-performing and reliable leader who isn't afraid of anything!

In this book, you'll discover:

The 11 antidotes to overcome first-time leadership pitfalls: You'll never have to worry about disappointing your team because you'll know exactly what to do and what to expect!

Practical tools and strategies to help you along the way: Ensure success with these fool-proof techniques that are here to make sure you thrive as a leader.

A happier and well-oiled machine of a team!: Produce more and have the team working in complete sync. Balance each other out and learn how to handle different personalities!

The secrets to effective decision-making: Know when to put your foot down and develop confidence in yourself and your decision-making capabilities.

And so much more!

With 11 straight-to-the-point chapters, by the time you're done reading, you'll have everything it takes to be a leader that delivers.

Of course, your leadership growth doesn't stop by reading this book alone.

I'll continue to support you by writing follow-up books as you make future transitions- Transition from your current supervisory role to a first-time managerial position, and ultimately from middle manager to first-time executive duty. I can also coach you and your team, facilitate stand-alone workshops based on one or more of the topics covered in this book, and design & deliver cohort programs for your leaders throughout the organizational hierarchies (emerging, middle, and senior leaders).

Enjoy the book!

Dr. AZ Habtewold,
Advocate for the A to Z of Holistic growth

From the Inside Flap

...That said, my informal research also revealed to me an interesting fact. Even seasoned supervisors, managers, and executives experience the syndrome when they are placed in a new position for the first time. Clearly, the transition challenges everyone. It has nothing to do with being young and a junior leader; it isn't the place nor the individual. Every transition is scary and challenging. There are uncertainties, doubts, risks, guesses, and so on whenever anyone takes on a new leadership role.

Below are the stages you may pass through on your leadership journey. Of course, depending on your industry, there may be either a shorter or a more extended version of leadership hierarchies. Most organizations, however, have these three levels of leadership progression:
1. Star employee (high performer),
2. Supervisor,
3. Manager, and
4. Executive.

As you transition from being a star employee into a supervisory role because of your high performance, you will face specific challenges. Likewise, when you make a transition from a supervisory role to a managerial position, you will experience different sets of challenges that come from leading from the middle. Of course, whenyou progress to become an executive, you'll also have transition challenges specific to senior leadership.

Regardless of seniority, most experience first-timer syndrome when placed in a new leadership position, irrespective of the organizational hierarchy. Seasoned leaders, however, are likely to become proactive to mitigate the effects, and may therefore be quicker than junior leaders to shorten the learning curve and lessen the impact.

One or more of the following feelings will be experienced by those suffering from first-timer syndrome:
* Anxiety,
* Confusion,
* Frustration,
* Displacement,
* Stress, and
* Uncertainty.

The science behind why the syndrome exists
In this book you'll also learn the science behind why every leader experiences this syndrome. The mindset, attitude, personality, and many of the skill sets that allowed you to excel as a follower, an employee or a leader in another leadership position won't serve you that well in your new leadership role. In fact, some of them may even sabotage your transition. The challenge is that you may not even be consciously aware of the full extent of the syndrome, so you may continue to think, behave, decide, and act as you used to, expecting to get the same fantastic results you got in your previous team member or leadership role.

What got you here, won't get you there
Marshall Goldsmith, author and American executive leadership coach, said, 'What got you here, won't get you there.' What brought you this far cannot help you any longer to succeed in a new leadership role. You need a new mindset, the necessary skills, and the right personality to succeed from the get-go. This book will inspire, equip, and empower you to succeed as a first-time team lead, supervisor, manager, or business owner.

A smooth transition to future leadership roles
Reading this book will provide you with a strong foundation as you advance in your leadership. You will appreciate that you read this book as you become a mid- level manager, executive, CEO, and beyond. Whatever you learn and practice here will translate into making your future first-timer roles, no matter how challenging they may be, easier and smoother.

The tips you get from this book will equip you to make a smooth transition from your current role to your next leadership assignment. You will also be given insights, tools, and methods to mentor first-timers in your organization, especially your successors, as you help them make a smooth transition by sharing your experience. Finally, everything you learn here will empower you to succeed in your other endeavors outside of work and business. Let's dive in!

Overcoming 1st Timer Syndrome... is a big thumbs up.

Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2021

Verified Purchase

Overcoming 1st Timer Syndrome is a big thumbs up.
Whether you are an aspiring leader, new leader or experienced leader you will find helpful tips, advice and reminders that can help keep leaders on track.
As I reflect on my early days in leadership positions, I remember that I kept finding ways to get in my own way. Dr. Assegid’s, Overcoming 1st Timer Syndrome follows the mantra, “before you can lead others you have to be able to lead yourself.”
The easy flow and format with Diagnostic Questions, Learning Objectives, and excellent references in each chapter, makes the book read more like a workbook or job aid rather than I text book or novel. I call it a great desk reference guide. Dr. Assegid identifies the important leadership topics and pitfalls: communications, conflict, assertiveness, accountability, imposter syndrome, emotional intelligence, team development, goals, etc. He also provides many references, in case you need to take a deeper dive into any of these areas.
I highly recommend this holistic approach to leadership and believe it can be beneficial to all those that find themselves getting in their own way.

A must read for both the first-time and seasoned leader who wants to inspire their team by example.

Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2021

AZ has nailed it. To me, leadership is like being a confident movie director. The cast is your team. Each actor (member of your team) is unique. As a first-time leader (confident director), your job is to inspire by authentic example, taking into account each individual actor’s uniqueness as well as each actor’s similarities. Throughout AZ’s book, “Overcoming 1st Timer Syndrome”, he has kept his focus on the concept of leadership that inspires. In today’s world, true confident leaders, whether first-time or well seasoned, not only direct their teams on specific actions to take, more importantly, they inspire their teams to confidently direct themselves. AZ is an expert at illustrating this truth through his 11 antidotes to thrive. His book will join the ranks of other great leadership books of the present and past. A must read for the first-time as well as the practiced leader. DW Starr, Extreme Confidence Expert: Consultant, Speaker and Live-Performance Transformational Educator and Author.

More Than Antidotes - This Book Has Strategies and Action Suggestions

Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2021

Verified Purchase

I like books that cause you to think introspectively, let you know what to expect within, and provide specific actions we can take to implement what is written about. "Overcoming First-Timer Syndrome" does just this. While the subtitle says "antidotes", the book is more than just stories. I find the book offers strategies to many levels of professional experience as we are all first-timers in one venture or another. The book is well-organized by topic. Each chapter has an overview of why we should read it, asks diagnostic questions for introspective thinking, provides learning objectives (which is atypical of books - more training-oriented), and then provides strategies for implementation. I recommend this book by Dr. Assegid Habtewold if you are facing a new situation in your professional or personal life. After all, we are all first-timers!

I appreciate the tone(optimistic) and style of this book. Right from the start, the author paints a rough road map of where he is taking us. By doing so, Dr. Assegid is helping his readers to focus and to dig within.

Moreover, Dr. Assegid also demonstrates a genuine level of authenticity. He’s not afraid to share his struggles and shortcomings. By doing so he is also inviting his readers to reflect on theirs as well.
