Overview
Many new leaders struggle with shifting from doing the work to leading others who are doing the work. Those same leaders are often promoted for the very thing (being technically competent in their prior role) they now have to let go of as they lead others. No wonder they may struggle in the beginning. Does the other shift have to do with new leaders becoming much more conscious (self-aware) of a number of things including How does my behavior come across to others who are now looking at me in a very different light? Am I aware of my strengths and how they may get in my way? Am I aware of my blind spots and am I open to hearing about them from my team? Can I resist "doing" for others and instead "coaching?" Can I help my team focus by reminding them of our core promises and protecting them from noise and distractions?
Why you should Attend
Many new leaders struggle with questions like "How much should I show strong direction vs. allow people to figure things out for themselves?" "How do I coach others effectively without constricting their creativity?" and How do I hold people accountable to standards that are important to the team’s success without alienating team members?" These are all challenges we will explore and practice in this experiential workshop.
Other new leader topics will explore include; "How much responsibility should I take on for the motivation and engagement of my team?" and "How do I work through skepticism and doubts the team may have about what we must deliver?"

- Identify the right coaching approach to take with team members based on their competence and confidence
- Provide effective reinforcing feedback when observing people doing the right things
- Provide corrective feedback in a tactful way
