Fundamentals of Leadership

Program Overview

High-performing team members are often promoted to leadership roles based on their track record and individual output. Many organizations often assume that their success as individual contributors will ensure their success as a leader. However, people management competencies, coaching and engagement skills, and flexible and adaptable leadership styles required to lead and inspire the team don’t always come naturally. Hence, new leaders must learn, develop, practice, and adopt essential leadership qualities and skills over time. Developing a good leadership onboarding allows a good shift of individual contributors to transition into leadership roles effectively, which will be good eventually for the people they lead, and the business or function they manage. New supervisors and leaders need to develop confidence in their leadership qualities, strengths, and abilities to be effective in their people management roles. In particular, the first 90 days are crucial for new leaders to earn trust and buy-in from the team and inspire them to pursue organizational goals and drive operational excellence.
