First Time Leader

Who is it aimed at?
This programme is designed for people who are about to or have recently entered their first leadership or supervisory position.

Why do I need it?
First time leaders face a different set of challenges when they have more than themselves to think about. Where technical skill or knowledge may have brought success and recognition in the past, leading a group of people has a different set of demands.

What will I get out of it?
You will:

• Understand that  your needs and the needs of your  team may be very different
• Discover that  new status and power aren’t  enough to lead others
• Understand that things which seemed simple  when  dealing only with your own workload can become  complex when dealing with others
• Learn how to think about  your own values  and how they might be different from others and may even be in conflict
• Learn to manage yourself so that you may manage others successfully

What is it about?

• This programme allows plenty of opportunity to explore alternative views on  what  success means for a leader of a team
• What drives you or is important to you as an individual
• What drives others within teams ( and what doesn’t)
• Why difficult people are difficult and  what  you can do to help them and yourself
• Survival toolkit: being challenged, stressed and managing your own and others reactions.

Participants will be challenged through role play and delegates use a case study from their own workplace to develop a leadership action plan to support a co-worker.

Who is it for?

• Professional, technical or functional  specialists  or generalists entering or in a first time leader role
• Graduates or employees  identified as having potential to be leaders

What after course support is available?

• Delegates  will have access to  coaching support  to help them when they return to the workplace
