As people are promoted from peer to supervisor or manager, many new leadership
challenges are created. Confidence is especially at risk as organizations
navigate the white water of change. This session examines the role self-esteem
and confidence play in leadership positions. A self-analysis instrument will be
used and participants will explore techniques they can use to heighten their
self-esteem and increase their level of confidence. When a supervisor or
manager has a high level of confidence in his or her leadership ability, that
supervisor or manager will demonstrate more patience with employees; have
greater problem solving abilities; deal more pro-actively and productively with
difficult people; and generally be faced with fewer challenges from employees.
Key Topics:
The value of confidence when
supervising others
What confidence feels like
How our self-esteem affects
relationships with others
