Peer to Supervisor: Making a Successful Transition

Inside the WVU Mountainlair.

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

Registration is based on a first-come, first-served basis.  If you have questions, or require a disability-related accommodation, let us know as soon as possible by contacting Leadership and Organization Development at 304.293.7217 or LOD@mail.wvu.edu.
