Organisations constantly give people their first line management role because the individual has been identified as being good at their day job, not necessarily being good with people.

People skills are a very different skillset from processes and tasks. Managing people can be the best job in the world, or the worst. No-one tells you what it’s like until you find out for yourself. ‘You’ll be fine’ is all you may get. This webinar will help you understand what to expect and how to prepare for it.

What’s in it for you?

• Appreciate the role of a manager and what’s involved
• Understand your strengths and development areas for stepping up
• Have a better idea as to whether a team leader or management role is right for you, at this stage in your career
• Have a plan for dealing with the challenges
