The belief, “employees don’t quit jobs, they quit bosses” may never pose a greater risk than during times of individual employee elevation, and the inevitable interpersonal dynamic-shifts that can accompany it. Transitioning from Peer to Leader is a course tailor-made for participants in transition from individual contributors to leaders – whether it be supervisor, manager or executive. We will train new leaders in this engaging leadership course, centered around understanding successful leaders’ many-faceted roles and responsibilities. Participants will be prepared for commonplace social changes, how to circumnavigate employee stressors by employing DISC communication skills, and how to effectively communicate performance objectives. Lastly, participants will receive guidance in developing action plans to apply what they’ve learned. Transitioning from Peer to Leader may begin with a promotion, but it requires far more than just adapting to a new job.

In this course, you will learn how to:

• Understand the difference in your role as a new leader and the social change that it accompanies
• Recognize the different styles of your employees and where they may experience stress
• Demonstrate and practice critical communication skills
• Distinguish between goals, objectives, and performance expectations
• Develop expectations around objectives for your staff
• Create action plans for applying skills on the job
