Stepping up to Leadership – team leader / first line managers
This Leadership Skillset has been designed to provide new and aspiring managers with the confidence and key skills required to step into a leadership role.
Understanding the importance of setting standards to support a team in achieving their own personal and the collective team’s full potential is paramount.
We explore the meaning of transformational leadership and transactional management achieving a balance between the two aspects of the role using the work of John Kotter and Kouzes and Posner ‘Principles of exemplary leadership’.
Many first time managers find the transition from team member to team manager challenging, balancing time, task, team needs and individual development and performance management.
