Stepping into Leadership

You are challenged in a very special way when you take over your first leadership role. You need to find a good balance between your new leadership responsibilities and the operational tasks you still oversee. In addition, you want to understand how to engage your team – not only on site, but also from afar – in order to achieve your objectives.

In this seminar, you will become familiar with your new leadership role. You will learn about different leadership styles. You will determine which style best complements your personal attitude and is most suitable for providing a framework in which your team will collaborate efficiently. You will develop an understanding on what is required from you in your role as a leader. And you will know how to apply the most essential leadership tools as well as communication techniques in your day-to-day work with local, virtual, and international teams.

Discussions, reflection, group work, individual work, role-playing, trainer input.

Professionals who are about to take on their first leadership role, or team or group leaders as well as project leads who have recently been assigned to their first leadership position.
