Transitioning From Friend To Leader

via FutureLearn

Overview

Support yourself to move into a leadership position, and develop your own style.

This course presents you with frameworks, theories, and skills to support you in the transition from colleague and friend, to leader and manager. It is very common to move from an existing team into a management position, but making that leap is often under-supported. Through this course, you will gain an understanding of the behaviors that are common in leaders, as well as the behaviors to curb during your transition into leadership. Topics such as emotional intelligence, authenticity, and interpersonal communication will help you cultivate confidence.

Being a good leader does not preclude being friends with your reports; it does, however, require you to be mindful of your relationships and acting in a way that promotes success within your team.

This course will be helpful for anyone new to leadership, looking to transition into a leadership role, or struggling with interpersonal relationships at work, either for yourself or for a member of your leadership team.
