Hi, I’m Christopher,
Having faced the challenges and setbacks of my first management role, I found myself in a situation where I was asked to resign. It was a humbling and frustrating experience, leaving me wondering how I had reached that point.
From the moment I secured a part-time job at the world headquarters of a fast-growing technology company even before graduating, I felt a sense of excitement and opportunity. As my career progressed, I was promoted to various roles within the company over a span of 10 years, eventually reaching a managerial position.
Becoming a manager was a dream come true for me. I had witnessed both remarkable and terrible examples of leadership throughout my career. The exceptional leaders made it appear effortless, while the awful ones seemed to actively pursue their own incompetence.
It didn't take long for me to realize that leading teams was far from easy. Despite my efforts to impress my boss and mold myself into the leader I believed they wanted me to be, I found myself struggling to earn the respect of my team. When I eventually made the difficult decision to leave that company, I was filled with self-doubt, questioning whether I was cut out for a managerial role.
In that moment, I made three promises to myself.
First, I vowed to never feel the experience of such failure and doubt again.
Second, I promised never to lead teams in the same ineffective manner.
Last, I committed to learning the essential skills and principles required for effective management and leadership.
Through introspection and experience, I discovered that a significant factor in my managerial failure was my lack of authenticity toward both my team and myself.
Since then, I have dedicated myself to identifying the key disciplines that new managers need in order to successfully lead and manage teams. Over the past 8 years, while running my business, Authentic Leader™, I have validated these disciplines through coaching and consulting with numerous clients.
The New Leader Lab is a workshop designed to provide new managers with the essential tools, systems, frameworks, skills, and methodologies that I wish I had access to over 25 years ago.
During the workshop, new managers will have the opportunity to:
- Gain insights into various leadership disciplines and understand how they intertwine.
- Identify the obstacles hindering their success in leading their teams effectively.
- Develop a personalized management and leadership plan, providing a solid foundation for implementation within 90 days.
I will personally guide and coach participants, sharing proven approaches and providing them with a practical, results-focused framework that goes beyond mere theory. This framework will enable them to translate their learning into action within their own teams.
Moreover, participants will use this framework to craft an authentic leadership plan and devise actionable strategies to execute their plan successfully alongside their teams.
The New Leader Lab equips managers with the necessary resources to effectively plan and hit the ground running with their teams.
I look forward to you joining us.
