We value your leadership and want to help you in your transition. We offer a program that will help you establish yourself quickly in your new role and help you avoid the common mistakes new supervisors make in managing former peers. Making a Successful Transition takes place from 1-5 p.m. March 13 in the Rhododendron Room at the Mountainlair.
You’ll learn:
The changes you can expect in your new role
How to build trust, offer coaching, and provide feedback to friends that you supervise
How to handle issues of confidentiality
When to be firm and when to be flexible
How to avoid perceptions of favoritism
How to prevent previous work relationships from negatively influencing your new managerial responsibilities
