LeaderShift

Empowering Manager Transitions from Team Member to Team Leader

Supporting new managers to step into leadership with confidence, clarity, and capability.

The move from individual contributor to team manager is one of the most important—and most challenging—transitions in a professional journey. High-performing individuals are often promoted into leadership roles without the support they need to manage peers, lead with influence, and shift their focus from personal delivery to team success.

LeaderShift is a hands-on, reflective program that helps new managers make this essential transition with confidence. Through the lens of the Enneagram, the program guides participants to understand their own strengths and development areas, build leadership self-awareness, and develop the practical skills needed to lead people, drive performance, and support organisational culture.

 

Designed for individuals who have recently stepped into leadership—or are about to—this program combines personal development, peer learning, and practical tools to help managers thrive.
