Becoming a leader of people requires a change in mindset from “Me” to “We”

Thrive has created the Fundamentals of Leading People program to prepare new leaders for that transition, setting themselves and their team up for success, and drastically reducing the possibility of a failed promotion.

Fundamentals of Leading People Program

Program Experience

Recent research by Gartner finds that 60% of first time people leader promotions fail. Have you experienced this? Are you doing everything you can to ensure a successful promotion? By investing in the Fundamentals of People program, you can ensure a smooth transition from individual contributor to people leader.

This 100% virtually delivered program provides participants with a blended 4 week learning experience that baselines leadership knowledge and skills in a group setting. Participants will learn independently and in structured virtual classroom and coaching sessions with other new leaders from various organizations and industries.
