The Leadership Pivot: Transitioning from Contributor to Enabler

Details

Instinctive patterns that make us excel as individual contributors can hinder us in leadership roles.

Join us for an interactive discussion where we'll delve into the concept of MAO - our milieu (or environment); the action we perform; and the object of that action. When we enter an organization, we're trained to master a specific MAO, which often leads to success in our initial roles. However, when promoted into leadership, the context changes completely, and clinging to that familiar MAO can become a significant challenge. This session will provide opportunity for you to ask questions and engage in discussion.

What We'll Discuss
✅ How your ingrained MAO patterns from previous roles might be impacting your leadership effectiveness.
✅ The fundamental shift required when moving from a "doer" to an "enabler" in a leadership position.
✅ Why successful leadership means enabling others to act effectively within their own MAO contexts.
✅ Strategies for fostering awareness, effective delegation, and reframing your personal value from doing to amplifying your team's capabilities.

Who Should Join?

  • New and aspiring leaders looking to discuss the unique challenges of leadership transitions.
  • Experienced leaders who feel stuck in old patterns and want to enhance their effectiveness.
  • HR Professionals seeking to explore ways to support smooth leadership development and transitions within their organizations.
