LEADERSHIP TRAINING BUILT FOR THE TRADES
If you want to take your best performer and turn them into someone who can lead people, it’s going to take a plan.
Everyone loves the idea of promoting from within. But it comes with a pretty big dose of reality once that person is put in charge.
We’ve all been there. You have someone who really performs. They get through the punch list fast, and their work speaks for itself. Or maybe they’re well-liked and always seem to impress you and others. But how do they handle hard conversations? How good are they at motivating a team who is falling behind? How many of their people stay?
Even likeable people who get the job done may not be ready to lead a team. Yet!
