Workshop- From Mates to Manager - ONLINE (FULL DAY)

Thursday 21st November 2024 ONLINE 8.30am to 4.00pm Adelaide time

Managing your former peers is a learnable skill. The most common challenge for newly promoted leaders is how to performance manage and discipline the people who were formerly peers. The From Mates to Manager workshop teaches leaders and people-managers strategies to negotiate the line between friendship and leadership and be able to move forward in their new position. Leaders will learn how to think through the challenges of managing friends and former peers while still getting the job done, thus helping them to walk the leadership line with style with humour and grace.
