Workshop - New Leader Onboarding

This program will provide every possible opportunity to develop your new leader’s coaching, strategic and leadership skills. They will be guided to thoroughly assess the situation they’ve inherited, including the business challenges, their new team, company culture, and the stakeholder environment.

The New Leader Onboarding program is a highly interactive learning journey that runs over six months. It offers case discussions, assessment exercises and peer coaching. The leader is equipped with a detailed action plan for the next ninety days and beyond. They will feel confident and have the tools and support to succeed.
