Moving from an individual contributor or manager to an influential leader is an important step in career advancement. A common error for those who are ambitious, who have succeeded as an individual contributor, is to work even harder as a manager. But working long hours leads to high levels of stress, which is not the ticket to success. Not letting go of day-to-day work and working too much or too hard to get the job done hinders your ability to lead effectively. Your team needs a leader to empower them for success, not someone to do all the work. It may sound like an easy transition, but it's actually harder to learn to lead your teams than do the work yourself. This session is about what effective leadership leadership looks like. Mariam will share her leadership journey, along with challenges and learnings she experienced along the way.
Learning Objectives:
Recognize behaviors and habits that could sabotage your ability to be seen as an effective leader.
Describe the differences between do-er behaviors and leader behaviors and how your team will benefit.
Measure progress and communicate outcomes to ensure you are successful.
