Universities Canada Learning to Lead Program

Learning to Lead is designed to help new managers make the transition from individual contributors to effective leaders. Employees are often promoted into a management position because of their expertise and superior performance as individual contributors, yet this knowledge is an insufficient basis to lead teams. This interactive program focuses on the most critical foundations of effective leadership and management, enabling new managers to overcome the challenges they will encounter during this transition. In this program, participants will learn to: - Lead with meaning - Broaden their repertoire of communication and motivational tools to inspire their team and enable them to reach their potential (simulations and exercises will be used to promote active learning) - Utilize tools and techniques to successfully manage talent, including effective ways of managing performance and helping their employees stay aligned with the larger organizational strategy and culture - Inspire others, be effective coaches, and manage the daily fundamentals in their team
