Nobody Taught You to Lead — Steve Riddle Knows Why That Matters What happens when a high-performing employee gets promoted into leadership with no playbook, no mentor, and no preparation? According to leadership coach Steve Riddle, this is not the exception — it is the rule. On this week’s episode of A New Direction Live, I sat down with Steve to discuss his book Falling Into Leadership: How Leaders Emerge, Grow and Lead With Purpose, a coaching-driven narrative that pulls back the curtain on the messy, uncertain, deeply human experience of becoming a leader for the first time. Steve Riddle brings over 30 years of leadership experience and more than 16 years of professional coaching through his firm CoachStation in Australia. His corporate career included senior roles at GE Capital and Toyota Finance Australia before he dedicated himself full-time to developing leaders. Co-written with his mother Kath Riddle, the book follows a fictional leader named Sally through eight coaching sessions that mirror real conversations Steve has had with hundreds of professionals navigating the gap between technical skill and people leadership. What makes this book different from the typical leadership manual is its honesty. Steve doesn’t pretend that confidence comes with the title or that authority earns trust. Instead, he addresses the self-doubt, the emotional weight of decisions that affect other people’s lives, and the loneliness that new leaders rarely talk about. Each chapter ends with practical “Reflect & Act” exercises, making it a book you work through rather than simply read. During our conversation, Steve shared that the leaders who grow fastest are the ones willing to admit they don’t have all the answers — and that vulnerability is not weakness, it’s the starting point of real influence. f you have ever been promoted into a role you didn’t feel ready for, or if you lead a team today and still wonder whether you’re doing it right, this interview will resonate. Steve Riddle‘s message is both simple and profound: leadership is not a destination you arrive at, it is something you fall into — and what matters most is what you do after the fall. Catch the full conversation on A New Direction, available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and wherever you listen. Steve Riddle’s book, “Falling Into Leadership: How Leaders Emerge, Grow and Lead With Purpose” is a play by play guide into coaching a new leader. In his and Kath Riddle’s approach we are introduced to a new emerging leader in Sally who is open and willing to change as a leader, but is uncertain of the steps. In 8 session Steve Riddle walks us through his process of coaching. Steve Riddle has a very organized approach that starts with focusing on the leader’s own self-awareness. His big push is if that self-awareness is only the beginning, but without it, you will never get to the next steps of growth. His methodology of using questions to push the client are both refreshing and eye opening for all of us. Behind the curtain he takes through the importance of emotional intelligence, communication, adaptability, resilience, and what true accountability looks like. He emphasizes the importance of the leaders role of empowering, inspiring, and influencing those the leader leads, and helps us recognize that as a leader our responsibility is to leave a legacy of leaders in our employees. Packed with tons of insights and thought provoking questions, the book, in my opinion is using the case of Sally to take a closer look at ourself. Some of our dysfunctional mindsets, becoming more self-aware and becoming the leader we had always hoped we would become. Get your copy by clicking “Falling Into Leadership“.
