Soft Skills Training for New Leaders
Your technicians work hard every day and excel at what they do. Some of them are ready to take on a new role – leading a team.
They may have strong technical skills, but do they have the people leadership skills they need? Research tells us they probably don’t.
Only 1 in 10 managers has the natural talent to effectively manage others. That means anyone moving into people leadership needs help and support to make the transition.
