Management Development Seminar

Transitioning From Manager to Leader

Overview

This seminar provides experienced mid-level managers with the tools they need to make the transition from experienced manager to effective leader. You will step into the world of dynamic thinking, creativity, and innovative results-producing performance. You will learn ways to achieve superior levels of organizational excellence and deal with the day-to-day challenges of your workplace through guided discussions, practical exercises, case studies, experiential activities with facilitated debriefings, and individual assignments. You will explore your own personal leadership philosophy and its effectiveness, learn how you can enhance it, and then develop an action plan for success.

Assessments will provide feedback on how you are perceived by your peers, employees, superiors, and customers, and a personal executive coaching session will address your particular needs.
