I Got a Promotion! Now What?
10:50AM - 12:05PMTaking the leap into your first supervisory job can be exciting and scary. All too often in the nonprofit world, new supervisors are left on their own trying to figure out how to make the transition successfully. This session will introduce participants to a strengths-based approach to leadership which is rooted in empathy, cultural humility, empowerment, critical self-reflection, and genuine mutual respect. Through discussion and small group activities, participants will compare and contrast the strengths-based approach with a more traditional command and control management approach, reflect on their own strengths and opportunities, and identify powerful questions which support mutually respectful relationships.Leadership Development
