From Individual Contributor to Effective People Manager

Overview

Becoming a manager is a significant transition. Professionals who excelled as individual contributors are often promoted into supervisory or management roles without receiving the skills required to lead people effectively.

First-line managers sit at the critical intersection between people, operations and organisational performance.

This practical programme equips new and aspiring managers with the core leadership, communication, delegation, performance management and people-management skills required to succeed in their first management role.

Why This Programme Matters

Being a great individual contributor does not automatically make someone a great manager.
