Supporting Climbers on the Corporate Ladder
The Challenge
Doing the job and supervising those who do the job require two completely different skill sets. Yet, companies regularly promote individuals to supervisory roles with false hopes that their proficiency at doing the job will translate into effectiveness at supervising the team. Oftentimes, this leads to:
- Team dissention.
- Decreased productivity.
- A failed supervisory experience on the record of newly promoted individual.
The Curriculum
With this course, you can support your newly appointed supervisors as they climb to the next level, giving them the best chance to succeed. They’ll learn how to:
- Aoid behaviors that can lead to resentment among team members.
- Effectively assert their authority with a team who recently viewed them as an equal.
- Use their knowledge of the job to support team members and project goals.
- Rely on their experience as a team member to become the supervisor they wished they’d had.
- Block the urge to continue to “do” the work and instead focus on a new set of goals.
