Teams
Developing
Management Skills
The challenge of leading people is more complex than ever. Traditional command-and-control approaches don't work anymore—we've translated modern leadership into habits that can be acquired.
"People want to be led by honest and worthy individuals. They will not be motivated unless they understand why."
The Journey
Becoming a Leader
We usually promote first-line managers from within the professional teams. The common practice states that in order to become a sales manager you should first be a salesman; before becoming R&D manager, you should work as an engineer.
Initial managerial legitimacy of young team leaders derives mainly from their professional expertise.
Yet, the promotion to a managerial position sets in motion a series of challenges. New leaders are obliged to rise to the occasion, sharpening their interpersonal and managerial skills.
The Challenge
- Rise to the occasion
- Sharpen interpersonal skills
- Step outside comfort zone
- Develop managerial identity
