Career Transition Workshop: From Technologist to Leader

Most IT leaders earned their promotions based on their technical competency, not their leadership or interpersonal skills. Technical leaders rarely step into leadership in possession of the complex mix of skills that engenders their success and the success of their teams.

Successful IT leaders require a combination of the technical expertise needed for competency in their profession and behavioral knowledge to understand the technology professionals they lead. In addition, all leaders excel when they achieve proficiency in four specific skill categories:

• Coaching
• Facilitating change
• Promoting communication
• Leading teams

This workshop trains technology professionals in every aspect of these four leadership categories. It equips attendees with training and reference materials to further develop their leadership potential and achieve excellent results, both for themselves and for their teams.

Goal 1: Develop an understanding of self-awareness, internal motivations, and how to motivate your team. Goal 2: Cultivate the visualization, planning, and execution skills so that you can meet and exceed the goals set by management. Goal 3: Learn team leadership skills for specific scenarios, including resolving conflicts, correcting performance problems, motivational skills, and gaining the support of upper management.
