Details: Transitioning into a leadership role for the first time is a significant milestone in one’s career journey, often marked by excitement, anticipation, and a sense of achievement. However, it also comes with its own set of challenges, requiring individuals to adapt to new responsibilities, expectations, and dynamics within their teams and organisations. This event will shed light on the common hurdles encountered during this transition and strategies to overcome them.
Our panel of speakers will delve into the challenges of becoming a new leader and share their personal career journeys, strategies for improving core leadership skills, establishing goals and utilising feedback effectively.
Many thanks to our venue host, Rio Tinto.
We look forward to seeing you there!
