Lead your former peers without losing their respect
Free Live masterclass - October 7, 11am MST
Leading Peers Without Losing Their Respect A free masterclass for new supervisors with Eric Potter, P.Eng.
You got promoted because you're good at the work. Nobody trained you for the part that changed: leading the people you used to work beside. In this on-demand masterclass, Eric Potter draws on 30+ years in operations, from the plant floor to the C-suite. He walks you through the three shifts every new supervisor has to make, the most common mistakes he has made and seen, and practical tools you can use on your next shift.

Your crew isn't asking you to prove yourself. The year-one trap most new supervisors fall into, and what the crew is actually watching for.
-
Buddy boss or cold boss? Neither. How to find the middle ground: name what's changed, deal with issues early, and stay yourself.
-
The conversation most new supervisors never have. A simple script for addressing the change with your crew after you're promoted, and how to deliver it.
