Six Activities to Develop Leadership Skills in Your Employees

Most companies promote individuals to leadership roles first then ask them to learn “new” leadership behaviors like providing feedback, collaborating, solving problems, coaching others and more. Asking people to change their behavior is hard enough, but coupling behavior change with a change in role/title AND with new functional responsibilities is too much for most people to be able to achieve. 

Your organization will have more success if you begin to instill leadership skills in your employees early in their career so that “leadership” is simply standard operating procedure. 

This session offers six activities to easily and cost-effectively develop leadership skills in – not only your future leaders – but all employees in the organization. A rising tide lifts all boats, after all, right? 

Objectives

Session participants will be able to identify six ways to develop leadership behaviors in employees without formal training.  

Why People should attend

Boomers and GenX are leaving the workforce in droves and younger generations weren’t expected to ascend to leadership roles this early in their career. This session will help you to quickly ingrain leadership capabilities in your younger employees.
