Course overview
What Is the Transition to Leadership?
The transition to leadership is the move from being recognised for personal results to being answerable for the results of a team. The programme prepares participants for it: understanding the real demands of the role, recognising their own strengths and style, leading former colleagues, agreeing expectations, delegating, deciding and handling early conflict.
Workshops, self-assessments, case studies and role-plays give participants practice in the conversations and choices new leaders in Libya meet during their first months.
Becoming a leader takes more than a new job title; it demands a shift in mindset and skill set. Supervisors, team leads, project coordinators and newly appointed managers in Libya explore how cultural nuances and organisational structures shape the role, and build the presence and credibility to lead people who were recently their peers.
Why it matters
Why the Leadership Transition Matters in Libya
In Libya’s ever-evolving landscape, organisations need capable people ready to move from contributor to leader. Those who make the shift with clarity and confidence keep their teams steady and grow into wider responsibility.
A different job altogether
Being good at the work is not the same as being good at leading it.
Early habits stick
Early slips as a new leader are hard to put right later.
Teams feel the change
When the handover wobbles, the team reporting to the new leader feels it.
The next generation
Organisations in Libya need emerging leaders ready to take the next step.
The Knowles leadership approach
From Insight to Impact
The course follows six steps on the road from follower to leader, starting with accepting that the job has changed and ending with growing into it, a path participants can retrace as they advance.
