The Team Member to Team Leader program equips new and emerging leaders with practical skills to make the transition from individual contributor to leading others with greater confidence, clarity and consistency.
"Leadership is not about being in charge. It’s about taking care of those in your charge."
— Simon Sinek
Moving from team member to team leader brings new expectations, relationships and responsibilities. Team Member to Team Leader is designed for people who are stepping into their first leadership role, preparing for future leadership responsibilities or looking to strengthen the foundations of their leadership approach.
Across four interactive virtual sessions, participants build practical skills in communication, adapting their leadership approach, motivation, delegation, feedback and managing everyday leadership challenges. Each session builds on the last. Between sessions, participants try what they’ve learned with their own teams, notice what works and bring those experiences back to the group – so their confidence grows session by session.
The program focuses on the fundamentals of frontline leadership – helping participants move from being responsible primarily for their own work to creating clarity, accountability and capability within a team.
Along the way, participants explore how to build credibility and trust as a new leader, set clear expectations and encourage accountability from the start.
