a) ASSESSMENT
Sosie
SOSIE is a French word translating as "a perfect resemblance to another”. SOSIE is much richer than just a simple personality measure as it identifies both an individual's traits and their interpersonal and personal values, which are important for managers to make the transition.
b) LEARNING SESSION - 2 DAYS
Program Foundation
The transition from an Individual Contributor to a Manager is more change in a role. Most organizations promote their high performers with the hope that they will automatically learn how to perform in their new role. This is similar to throwing a first time swimmer in the deep end of the pool and hoping his survival instincts to kick in and he learns to swim.
​
This approach may work in a swimming class but will surely not work in a business environment. Putting individual contributors in an unfamiliar situation will force them to resort to things which have previously worked for them, thereby falling into the trap of the inhibitors.
​
What a manager needs is a program which equips them with the mindset, skillset and toolset to flourish in their new role.
