Too often, individuals are promoted to supervisory, or management roles based on
technical experience without an investment in developing their management skills.
This one-day seminar supports the transition from an individual contributor to a
manager and provides skills to enhance communication, provide feedback, delegate
tasks and prioritize responsibilities on a larger scale.
IN THIS WORKSHOP, PARTICIPANTS WILL
• Better understand their individual leadership style, focusing on natural strengths and opportunities for growth, while learning how to identify the style those they’re leading respond best to
• Practice tactical preparation steps to deliver meaningful and specific feedback, keeping an eye toward the impact on team morale and overall culture
• Learn techniques for effectively and clearly communicating expectations of direct reports
KEY THEMES
• An overview of a variety of leadership styles and the advantages and disadvantages of each
• The importance of self and social-awareness in fostering an open, trust-based communication style
• Acknowledging growth and vulnerability by responding with “I don’t know, but I will work to find out” when asked a question to which they don’t have the answer
• Understanding the role of emotion in communicating transparently and clearly
• Seeking to understand and asking questions is a critical component of building high-trust relationships
To ensure cross industry representation, we ask that organizations send up to two individuals to a workshop. If your organization is interested in having more individuals participate, we can work with you to create a customized solution to meet your needs and goals.
Typically, the fee for this program is $300. However, thanks to the generosity of the Institute’s philanthropic donors, we are proud to offer this program for $50.
