Become a Manager – is that something for me?

Have you ever given thought to whether leadership would be something for you, but you are really not quite sure? On the one hand, leadership represents an opportunity for professional growth; on the other however, many people take on a management position even though leadership is not really meant for them. Women particularly, still hesitate when faced with a leadership decision because they are not sure if they possess the necessary competencies and characteristics, and if they want to bear the consequences of such a decision.

In this seminar therefore, you will find the answers to such questions as "can I lead? ", as well as, "do I really want to be a leader?", and "what exactly would it entail?" However, it is not an external judgement that is the focus of the seminar, but rather the opportunity to do a self-check based on various models and methods, and the opportunity for reflection from different perspectives. In addition, you will gain some basic knowledge on the subject of leadership, which will enable you to evaluate your personal preferences. Exchanging ideas and giving and receiving feedback in a group of like-minded women, will help you achieve self-awareness and clarity regarding such a decision.
