BREAKING BAD LEADERSHIP HABITS - How to Prepare New Leaders for Success

Stop correcting bad habits! Prevent them instead.

The transition from individual contributor to supervisor is a complex transition and one that requires the support of the organization to be successful. New managers must learn how to lead others (many of whom they were previously friends with), make high-risk decisions they never had to make in the past, give difficult and uncomfortable feedback and so much more.

And the reality is, new leaders aren't getting the training that they need to succeed. In fact, the average manager doesn't get any training until they have been on the job for ten years.

And unfortunately, new supervisors are learning bad habits from day one.

From day one, managers are forming habits, developing management strategies and creating attitudes. And without knowing the fundamentals, it isn't likely that these are aligned with company goals and objectives.

That's why it is so critical that organizations are actively involved in providing these individuals with the preparation they need to transition effectively into their new role.

You can't afford to take a wait-and-see approach. You need to be proactive and teach would-be and new leaders the communication, decision-making, problem-solving, and change-management skills required to lead a team in today's ever-changing workplace.

It's time to start focusing on building the right leadership habits—rather than wasting time and energy correcting the wrong ones.

Join best-selling author and leadership expert Kevin Eikenberry for this powerful webinar where leaders will learn common bad leadership habits that are often made, how to avoid them and how to prepare for success.
