Description:
Whether you are moving into a new position at your current organization or taking on a new team-lead role at a different organization, the first 3 months are critical for your longer term success. Yes, your success depends on your ability to do the job, but equally important is being clear on what your job is - and isn't - what your management expects from you, and your ability to focus on the right things with the right approach. This 2-part webinar provides practical tools for a smooth transition and successful takeoff. Participants will come away from the programs having completed tools that clarify expectations, priorities, plans and stakeholder relationships, as well as an individual action plan for transitioning to a new job, goals and priorities for the next 3 months, and a specific approach for delegating and creating a motivating environment.
Moving into Management & Team Leadership Roles, Part 1
Date: 12 April 2011
Time: 1:00 p.m. - 2:30 p.m. ET
In this session, participants will learn about making the move to a new position, including clarifying expectations and establishing early goals, even if your new boss doesn't think this is necessary. It's also important to understand yourself and the importance of knowing your tendencies to better understand those working with you. We'll also cover why politics and relationship building are critical, and how to approach these responsibilities with confidence and competence.
Moving into Management & Team Leadership Roles, Part 2
Date: 26 April 2011
Time: 1:00 p.m. - 2:30 p.m. ET
This session will focus on specific competencies that will help participants make the successful transition to new responsibilities, including balancing priorities and avoiding burnout, even as projects, urgencies and priorities shift; delegating and coaching employees to help them build on their strengths; and communicating at the right time and in the right way.
Critical Learning Questions:
- Why does it matter if I understand myself? Isn't it more important that I understand the people I'm working with, or those that I supervise or lead?
- What do I do if there's no job description? Or, if there is a job description and the manager feels that it clarifies expectations?
- How do I delegate to and influence people that don't directly report to me?
- Why do I have to "politic"? How do I politic?
- How do I communicate with a manager who is never around?
- How do I manage priorities when there's a new priority every day?
Who Should Attend:
Anyone who is looking to move into a new leadership role in which they will be responsible for one or more staff, or will be leading a project team or a functional unit, in their current organization or in a new library or organization - academic, public, corporate or government.
