Many HR leaders are tasked with supporting new managers who were promoted based on performance, only to discover that the skills that made them high performers don't translate to effective leadership. Without the right tools, these new managers become overwhelmed, reactive, and disengaged, dragging team performance down with them. 60% of new managers fail within their first two years, not because they lack potential, but because they were never taught how to lead. This session challenges the outdated assumption that great employees naturally become great managers. Attendees will gain a practical leadership development blueprint they can use to support new managers in transitioning from authority-based management to influence-based leadership. You’ll leave with insights, tools, and strategies to reduce turnover, improve engagement, and build a strong leadership pipeline across your organization.
