How HR Can Set First-Time Leaders Up for Success

Описание: First-time leaders are often promoted for their technical skills, then left to figure out leadership on their own. The result? High expectations, unclear roles, and feeling alone in the deep end.

In this webinar, Katherine Kun, organizational development coach and former Airbus team development consultant, shares what actually works to support new leaders during their critical first months.

What You'll Learn:
✅ The 6 most common challenges first-time leaders face in organizations
✅ What HR can do internally to support new managers (mentoring, buddies, circles, how-to guides)
✅ Why "just-in-time" support matters more than scheduled leadership programs
✅ The leadership manifesto: how new leaders should introduce themselves to their team
✅ Why one-to-ones in the first month are non-negotiable
✅ The biggest mistake new leaders make: assuming others want to be led the way they did
