Why this program?
How do you know if you're ready to transition from an individual contributor to a manager? How do you start conversations with your manager about moving into people management? How can you be successful in managing? Making the transition is not easy and is important to have clarity into your skills.
The two-day workshop aims to equip designers who are exploring a transition into people management with tools, frameworks, and resources to help them strengthen their skills and work effectively as new managers.
Learn Jian Wei's philosophy and methods for a smooth transition. This two-part workshop series will leave you with clarity and energy to understand the attributes and expectations of a design manager, and how to measure your impact and be successful as a design manager.
