Transitional Leadership Support
Delivered through
🐘 Naming the Purple Elephant™ Strategy Session
Promoting a great employee into a leadership role without proper support can backfire-fast. New supervisors often find themselves overwhelmed, unsure how to manage former peers, delegate effectively, or lead with confidence. The result? Miscommunication, missed deadlines, and frustrated teams.
Impact / Cost of Inaction:
-
Rising turnover from teams under inexperienced managers
-
Increased conflict and disengagement
-
Loss of high-potential employees
