Soon after I was promoted into my first leadership position, I realized just how unprepared I was to be a leader. Sure, I was a high performer and very good at my job, but those skills weren't enough to make me an effective leader. This course is based on the lesson's I wish I knew as a young leader and is designed to help others make the transition into leadership. ~ Dani Chesson, Ph.D. ​
