01 / Overview

The course for the person who was just handed a team.

Organizations promote their strongest employee and assume leadership will follow. It doesn't. The skills that made you a great technician are not the skills that make you a great leader — this course teaches the difference, and what to do about it.

The whole DRIVE framework, applied at the level where most leadership actually happens. You finish with a written leadership mission, a development plan for every person on your team, and a 30-day commitment you've already started.
