The presentation will focus on how HR can support the development of their organization's new leaders (0-5 years of experience) by teaching them how to tap into the collective genius of their followers. Strategies will be discussed for enhancing the ability of new leaders to engage their followers. We will explore the common anxieties and challenges that new leaders, who are armed with only a post-graduate education and have no prior training in professional leadership, face when they are given a role of leading people who are far more experienced and inherently know much more about the business. The intention of the presentation will be to provide HR Leaders with strategies for helping new leaders with succeeding in their roles of leading others and finding their authentic leadership signatures This discussion will ensure HR leaders will be able to prevent their new leaders from falling into the leadership pitfalls of showing up as a “ghost” or “dictator” leader.
