According to a study by the Center for Creative Leadership, one of the most challenging transitions for leaders is moving from an individual contributor role to a leadership role, where the focus shifts from doing tasks to achieving results through others.* This interactive Learning Lab aims to equip staff members transitioning to a supervisor role with essential skills and insights to effectively lead and manage teams.
Designed for those stepping into supervisory roles, this session will help you begin to examine the skills and insights needed to navigate the exciting transition with confidence. This Learning Lab will include interactive polls, short video clips, and brief discussions to encourage active learning.
Participants will be encouraged to ask questions and share their thoughts throughout the training.
