Progression within asset management has traditionally been defined by performance and the ability to deliver returns. However, stepping into a leadership role often requires a different mindset and set of skills.

In this video, Nicole Weiner, Consultant at JPES and an executive coach, discusses the challenges both firms and new leaders face, how individuals can prepare for broader leadership responsibilities, and the support organisations can provide to help make the transition successful.

Nicole also considers the role of the organisation. Clear expectations, structured development, mentoring and coaching can all help prepare future leaders and support a successful transition.

The discussion builds on JPES’ report, From Star Manager to Strategic Leader – https://jpespartners.com/2026/04/13/from-star-manager-to-strategic-leader/
