Mentoring for Young Leaders
Work through challenges and grow with an experienced thinking partner.
Leadership is no walk in the park
managers, especially in their early years of leading teams need to navigate tensions:
Being the expert and becoming more of a generalist
Acting as a doer and learning to plan and strategize
Managing your team's needs and dealing with pressures from above
Developing others while honing in on your leadership
Keeping others engaged but creating space for your own well-being
