Format: Four modules, self-paced, completed independently. The course opens with a Pre-Course Reflection, moves through the four module lessons, and closes with Final Reflections and a 24-question end-of-course quiz. A companion workbook holds the reflection questions from all four modules for participants to write in as they go.
Who It’s For:
Newly promoted and emerging leaders navigating the shift from individual contributor to leader, and anyone leading a team who wants to build these skills more deliberately.
The Four Modules:
1.The Shift in Mindset – Moving from individual output to team performance. Covers the identity shift from individual contributor to leader, how to reallocate time between strategic and operational work without slipping into micromanagement, the ethics of newly-acquired authority, and the emotional intelligence, self-awareness, empathy, and resilience, the role now demands.
2.Team Execution and Performance – The practical machinery of running a team. Covers translating company objectives into clear individual KPIs, delegating effectively by matching both the task and the level of instruction to the person, and holding performance accountability through effective one-on-ones and objective conversations about underperformance.
3.Leading in a Hybrid and Digital World – Applying the fundamentals fairly and effectively across distributed teams. Covers hybrid equity and countering proximity bias, asynchronous communication and reducing meeting fatigue, tracking output rather than hours or online presence, and helping a team adapt quickly when plans need to change.
4. Managing Up, Down, and Across – The full 360-degree relationship matrix every leader has to navigate. Covers aligning with your own manager’s priorities, building genuine cross-functional relationships before you need them, advocating for your team’s resources and recognition, and setting confident boundaries with clients and executives.
