➤ Difficulty navigating the transition period
➤ The need for intervention by senior leaders

The Truth about Leadership
The truth is great leaders aren't born they are made.
New leaders need to discover how to:
➤ Determine their leadership style
➤ Understand the role emotional intelligence plays
in leadership success
➤ Develop the skills to address mistakes and missteps
without causing tension in the team
➤ Manage the expectations and well-being of both
them and their team
➤ Create processes that allow them
and their team to thrive
