People...it's always the people stuff that make the step up to front line leadership the trickiest! And also the best, once you've got the skills and experience to lead with more confidence.
That's confirmed by the latest research from the Center for Creative Leadership - they've surveyed over 48,000 leaders and the top challenges for front line leadership are:
1. Frustrations with people and time.
2. First time managing people.
3. Deficient operational processes
4. Team performance
5. Personal improvement

How does this get taught in your workplace?

Ever noticed someone sees something unsafe at work… and says nothing?
So what's going on?

It’s usually one of these:

-"I don’t want to look difficult."
-"I don’t want to embarrass someone."
-"It’ll slow us down."
-"I don’t want to get it wrong."
-"It’s not really my role."
-"I don't have the right words to speak up."

These all point to a culture or communication issue.
What have we missed? What do you think's going on when people don't speak up at work?

Have you heard of the 'accidental manager'? That's when you get promoted because you're great at your job, so you jump up to leadership level without any training. That's a big leap! So how can you offer your people the right tools to succeed when they are promoted? There's a huge number of leadership offerings out there, but they are not all created equal. Find out what makes all the difference when it comes to making leadership learning stick and creating real change at your workplace.
