Transitioning into a leadership role can be daunting and overwhelming, especially without the right support and guidance. And when managers struggle, the cost is significant: ineffective leadership can damage morale, increase turnover, lower productivity and so much more. And more often than not, these challenges are the direct result of leaders not having the essential management skills they need to be successful in their job. 

To ensure success through this difficult transition, it’s critical that organizations actively engage in providing new leaders with the preparation they need to transition effectively into their new role.

Over the years, with an increasing gap between the need for and supply of new leaders, many organizations have had no choice but to rapidly promote high performers. As a result, these organizations are then unprepared to support their new leaders with the training and resources they need to succeed.

You can help your company and your employees by providing them with solid management development training – training that goes beyond the technical nuts and bolts of their daily task list. They already know that stuff. Now they need to leadership skills to take them to the next level, to prepare them for all of the unexpected challenges they’ll face and to help prime your leadership pipeline for years of organizational success.

The Bud to Boss Workshop is specifically designed to aid and empower new and frontline leaders, providing them with the necessary tools to lead successfully, avoid common pitfalls and drive team performance.

And now, we are offering you the chance to preview this learning experience at a fraction of the workshop cost. When you preview Bud to Boss, you will get the chance to experience and learn the skills yourself, to determine if the workshop would work in your organization.
