Many professionals struggle to make the transition into leading teams. The processes they have adopted for success as a team member do not always work when applied to managing teams. Often, the individuals have lacked an appropriate role model on which to base their activities. Experiencing failure is not an efficient way to train team leaders.

This course is presented over 6 months, with one day per month as the formal training requirement. It aims to address the issues of how to lead teams for individuals new to this role.
