Most IT leaders earned their promotions on the basis of their technical competency, not their leadership skills.  Technical leaders rarely step into leadership in possession of the complex mix of soft skills that engenders their success and the success of their teams.  The seminar teaches a variety of leadership skills required by IT teams, such as:

• Coaching
• Facilitating change
• Promoting communication
• Difficult management scenarios

This one day seminar will not fully train technology professionals in every aspect of every leadership
category.  (An MBA doesn't either, and it takes years to earn one).  However, it will equip attendees with the training and reference material to further develop their leadership potential and achieve excellent results, both for themselves and for their teams.
