About this Event
Transitioning from an individual contributor role to a leadership position, especially in the fast-paced tech industry, is hugely challenging. Most new leaders don't receive any training at all in the first 10 years of their new responsibilities.
This workshop is designed to the tackle communication, feedback and conflict skills that ever leader needs to succeed.
Key Takeaways
Debugging difficult conversations: Delaying or avoiding difficult conversations may lead to unresolved issues which can compound over time, similar to ignoring a mechanical issue with a vehicle until it becomes irreparable.
Giving actionable feedback: Feedback is crucial for leaders aiming to influence behaviours within their teams and wider organisations. This change-management tool helps clarify the desired and discouraged behaviours, preventing frustration due to misunderstandings.
Receiving feedback gracefully: Leaders should also focus on receiving feedback effectively, understanding the intent behind it, and improving its effectiveness.
Healthy vs unhealthy conflict: Conflict in the workplace and other social settings is a reality. Knowing the difference between healthy and unhealthy conflict is essential to ensure productivity and positive relationships.
Building a culture of healthy conflict: In a thriving professional environment, conflict is not a hindrance but a catalyst for growth and innovation. Let's discuss how to build a culture where disagreements among peers are not only tolerated but encouraged.
Transitioning from an unhealthy to a healthy conflict: When we find ourselves in an unhealthy conflict, it’s important to learn how to move towards a healthy conflict. The PAUSE model is a useful tool to help guide us through the process of moving from an unhealthy to a healthy conflict.
Access to the Tech Leaders Launchpad: Participants also get 6mo access to the online learning platform - Tech Leaders Launchpad - with an additional 40 hours of self-paced learning content.
