January 2025 Chapter Meeting

Many organizations unknowingly set their rising stars up for failure by assuming technical excellence translates into leadership capability. Every high-achieving individual doesn't automatically make a great leader. This session unpacks the key skills and mindset shifts necessary for leadership success. Using my experience as a high-performing CPA thrown into leadership, we’ll uncover actionable steps HR professionals can use to better equip leaders for the challenges of their new roles, fostering organizational growth and employee satisfaction.

HR professionals will gain the ability to:

• Identify key challenges employees encounter during the transition from individual contributor to leader.
• Understand the common mistakes companies make when selecting and preparing employees for leadership positions.
• Create proactive systems and learning opportunities to help new leaders thrive in their roles.
