Support first-time leaders with essential skills and modern mindsets.
Making the transition from individual contributor to new leader is one of the toughest professional moments in a person’s career. In fact, FranklinCovey Insights revealed that 81% of experienced leaders say becoming a manager for the first time was a much bigger challenge than they had realized.
Too often, organizations promote star performers into management roles based on their technical skills. But it takes much more than that to excel as a frontline leader. Human skills matter just as much as—or sometimes more than—technical proficiency.
Equip new leaders to achieve results through their people.
To flourish, first-time leaders need the effective skillsets and mindsets to empower their teams and inspire them to achieve outstanding results. These new leaders must build trust, align teams around shared goals, create cultures of feedback, and navigate challenging periods of change to keep their direct reports engaged, productive, and accountable to their results.
No support, no success.
Data shows that 58% of new managers receive no formal leadership training before starting to lead a team.* By actively developing your new and emerging leaders, you’ll invest in their growth while creating a competitive edge for your organization—creating a culture where people want to stay and can thrive.
