Most people get promoted into a management position because they were doing a great job as an IC, not because they are good managers. The result is they have to learn how to be managers on the job which is very difficult.

I've been an executive coach with nearly 2 decades of experience and hold a certificate from Wharton's executive development program. I'm happy to offer you a free hour to work on a few specific challenges that you are facing. If you are interested, please reach out. No hard sell, of course. karen@tabularasacoaching.com

I’ve taken a few LinkedIn Learning courses because my employer supports LiL. Nothing I’ve been exposed to is that groundbreaking, but if you lack a formal in-house leadership program, it is decent I guess? I think leadership is often learned best through leading, which is easier said than done

I have found the majority of those to be pretty bare bones basics, but not a bad start if you just want to get into something. Also could be helpful for you to figure out what exactly you need or want to focus on. Always say something is better than nothing.

This looks like a really great opportunity. I am definitely going to have to look into this. Thank you for sharing OP. I am always looking for management and leadership classes.

"Everybody can be a leader" some say... "Leaders are nurtured not born" say others... True.

But... this is also true: "not everybody wants to be a leader" (whether they can or can't be). It is a fairly common practice in organizations with traditional career management structures for people to "be promoted" into leadership roles as the "end steps of the corporate ladder" that was climbed doing technical work. And, unfortunately, this doesn't work all the time
