That step from individual contributor to people leader is difficult, and many companies do not have the expertise or resources to help train aspiring managers. This not only creates issues for the business, it adds to workforce turnover since one of the main reasons employees leave a company is because of a bad manager. To help companies facing these challenges, we have partnered with Brandeis University to create a training program for first time managers.
This five-day course will cover:
– Strategy and innovation in technology
– Becoming a frontline leader
– Hiring, training and developing your team
– Managing conflict, performance and change
– Leading an agile business system
We expect this to fill up fast. Register by January 28th to guarantee your spot.
