From Peer to Manager

Have you met her/him?

This competent, respected colleague, who naturally exhibited some leadership.

There he is now turned into a manager!
He must manage operations, provide feedback, assert himself within the management team...
and mobilize his former colleagues (you perhaps!) — without having really been prepared for it.

Result: confusion, tensions… and sometimes a decrease in performance, rather than the expected momentum.

 


 

Workshop goals

This training invites every new manager to:

  • To take one's place confidently in their new role
  • Avoid the typical pitfalls of beginner leaders
  • Mobilizing his team while keeping focus on operations

 

All of this with concrete tools, realistic simulations, and an approach rooted in daily life.

Because leadership can be learned! And adaptability is more than ever the key skill of tomorrow.
