Let’s face it. Leadership is hard, especially when you’re first starting out.

You were amazing at your old job and were proud to get that promotion. But now you’re asking yourself,

"What did I get myself into!?"

And, I hate to say it, but the stats aren’t good.

• 1 in 3 front-line workers think their boss doesn’t do a very good job[1].

• Nearly 70% of organizations identified loss of team-member engagement as a direct impact of “mediocre” frontline leaders.

• Loss of productivity, loss of team-members themselves… The depressing list goes on and on. [2]

What’s worse, after the exhilaration and stress of taking on a leadership role, a large number of new leaders wind up leaving the organization or being required to return to an individual contributor role!

Don’t worry, there’s hope!!

The great news is that truly transformative leadership is a combination of beliefs and behaviours that can be learned! Learning the skills early in your leadership career allows you to be effective from the start.
