Description

Build essential management competencies

Transitioning to a leadership position can raise issues you've never faced before. You must manage work that you may be unfamiliar with and supervise employees who might have previously been co-workers or staff with greater seniority. You need to understand the extent of your responsibilities and decision-making authority, and find ways to communicate expectations to your team. You may even be the one who has to make unpopular decisions.

Excellence in technical or financial skills does not automatically translate to excellence in leading and supervising others, which is why it's essential to prepare yourself for your new role.
