We frequently hear from our customers from the IT industry about the struggles that newly appointed managers face. Transitioning from a technical role to a people leadership role can be challenging for both, for the employee and for the company, because:

Elatra's First-Time Lead Program has been specially designed to address the unique challenges faced by newly appointed people leaders. This targeted program aims at supporting experts to effectively set up in their new role.

The 6-month program comprises 12 individual coaching sessions reinforced with micro-learning content to provoke thinking and facilitate the application of coaching topics.

The curriculum is strategically designed to help participants:

• understand the expectations of their new roles
• align their personal values with their professional responsibilities
• improve people management skills, like giving feedback, delegating effectively, managing conflict.

Participants report significant boosts in confidence and competence in their leadership roles, as they become more self-aware and accountable. This translates into tangible improvements in:

• communication
• emotional intelligence
• conflict resolution
• better team dynamics
• and a more positive work environment.

For companies, investing in this program means cultivating resilient, adaptable, and effective leaders who can promote these benefits throughout the organization.

The First-Time Lead Program implementation begins with a discovery meeting. This initial consultation is designed to understand a company's specific challenges and goals. It serves as a foundation for creating a tailored coaching solution that aligns with the company's talent management strategies and objectives, setting the stage for a successful leadership transformation.
