Taking charge as a Leader & Closing the Gap between Specialist and Manager
So, you are a technical specialist. Suddenly, you are excelling at what you do and senior management places you in charge of an important project that comes, yes, with not only technical resources but also with a team of people for you to manage and you have no idea where to begin. Now, you are very good at your job from a technical point of view and although you have much to offer in terms of knowledge and expertise, this is your first time facing the task of managing a team of people. Suddenly, you realize that there are distinct differences between management and leadership that were not obvious to you until now and you know that you need to close the gap between being a specialist and taking on the mantle of leadership so that you can move forward with confidence.
This course is an opportunity to help you grow in mastering leadership techniques in that you will effectively be able to explain the concept of leadership, differentiate between the concepts of management and leadership, evaluate the impact of the leadership techniques put in place and apply those techniques to individuals and teams.
