Description
Shift your mindset as a manager and leader. Designed for someone who has been promoted from within, this course will equip new leaders at the foundational level with the tools to supervise former fellow employees. Making the transition to a supervisory role isn’t always easy. Very few people understand how to effectively shift from working alongside others to acting as their new boss. This course is designed to provide a clear path for new leaders so that they can avoid some of the mistakes and pitfalls that often characterize this transition. In this half-day course, we will spend the morning unpacking some of the mindset obstacles that keep new leaders from seamlessly assuming their roles and provide some practical practices that can help. Our afternoon will be spent covering some of the specific skills needed in their new roles that they haven’t necessarily gained through job experience. For example, how to effectively lead a meeting and how to present information to decision makers in a way that is persuasive and effective in bringing about necessary change.Who Should Attend?
