The transition from individual contributor to manager can be the most challenging shift of a career. Being a manager demands a deeper appreciation of the impact of one's style and greater flexibility in order to be able to deal with a variety of people. This program is designed to introduce prospective or newly-promoted managers in a technical environment to the concepts and skills critical to a successful assumption of leadership. The seminar is based on the experiences and observations of the designer who held position in several technical environments. Its methodology has been tested at major international engineering-driven companies; the participants have consistently rated the seminar as highly relevant and worthy of recommendation to others. Participants will be actively engaged at every step through the use of small group discussions, on-the-job application, exercises and real-life practice sessions using situations from their corporate experience.
