More about this course
  • This course presents you with frameworks, theories and skills to support you in the transition from colleague and friend, to leader and manager
  • It is very common to move from an existing team into a management position, but making that leap is often under-supported
  • Through this course you will gain an understanding of the behaviours that are common in leaders, as well as the behaviours to curb during your transition into leadership. 
  • Being a good leader does not preclude being friends with your reports, it does however require you to be mindful of your relationships and acting in a way that promotes success within your team.
