Making the transition from being a staff person one day to a supervisor or manager the next is a significant step. Transitioning from individual contributor to being an effective leader is far more challenging and complicated than ever before. The ability to use diplomacy, negotiation, persuasion, and alliance building is extremely important.
Creating staffing and budget plans to meet department and organizational goals are only part of the equation. Those tasks must be performed in conjunction with the ability to work closely and collaboratively with others.
The first session in this two-part series will center on knowing yourself, knowing your people, and developing trust in the team. The second session will address critical thinking skills, conflict management, time management, and coaching skills.
