The Gap Between Doing and Leading

When technical experts step into leadership roles, they often discover that the skills that once defined their success are completely different to the ones they need to lead. Their job has fundamentally changed, and is now to enable and inspire their team, not to do the job themselves. 

Our ‘RISEUP: New Leaders Program’ is designed to bridge this gap, empowering new technical managers with the leadership & people skills they need to make the transition and drive organisational success.
