Management Problems
of the Technical Person in a
Leadership Role
An
outstanding seminar for making the transition from technical
specialist to manager!
 Because many employees have
the necessary knowledge
in their respective jobs, companies normally
seek to promote from within the ranks. While the promotion is
exciting for both the employee and the company, the management challenge could cause
unnecessary stress — affecting the entire chain of command. Once the company recognizes
an individual's job strengths and deems that person "management material,"
the
company and the employee must identify those management skills crucial to success.
This seminar shows
technical professionals how to achieve the balance of technical,
administrative, and people skills needed to make a comfortable
and successful transition from specialist to
generalist.
