People with excellent technical or professional skills are often promoted to leadership positions and although extremely proficient at their technical job (this is often the reason they are promoted), they lack leadership competency and understanding about their new job requirements.
At Thomson HR Solutions we understand that development programs must be aligned to desired business results and actively integrated into the workplace. We advocate that if the team leader believes in what they are doing and can communicate this effectively to others, then naturally, people will follow. Our leaders need to be able to influence and build relationships within the organisation.
