Transition to Leadership Workshop

Please check back or sign up below to be notified when this workshop will be offered again.

The role of a leader differs in many ways from the role of a technical expert.  It takes more than a new name tag; it requires a transition from doing the work yourself to becoming one who fosters the productivity of others. This transition is even more complex if you must lead a group of former peers. This workshop provides practical guidance for those new to leadership or considering a leadership role. By attending, you will understand how to create effective boundaries, influence others, and build your capacity to lead.

Participants will learn the differences between the role of an individual contributor and a front-line supervisor and apply the principles for establishing appropriate boundaries. They will also clarify person values, assess their level of emotional intelligence, and make a plan for their own areas of development.
