Webinar Length: 1 Hour
Purpose and Background
This webinar offers insight and practical steps to help you earn trust and be effective in your new role.
Starting a position as a new engineering manager can be overwhelming or stressful at the least, even for the most seasoned professional. Perhaps you have been promoted to management within your current organization or you have joined a new organization. Either way, new expectations can be a source of pressure for new managers. Many managers tend to rely on their experience, education, and other credentials or recommendations to support them in their new role. That’s fine, to a point. Every new opportunity is just that—a clean slate where professionals can essentially start over and re-position themselves for greater impact and levels of success. A New Engineering Manager’s First 90 Days provides insight and action steps to help both new and experienced managers position themselves and their teams for peak performance.
This webinar is designed to enhance participant’s management skills, promoting goal clarity and the importance of culture and relationships in accomplishing tasks. It also aims to guide highly skilled technical professionals to consider the broad scope of their responsibilities and prioritize for the short-and-long-term. The knowledge and skills presented in this webinar can be applied across industries and in a variety of professional settings.
