Further training to become a manager - How to become a boss

Your career goal? To be a boss. Actually, you never dreamed of it, but now you have an excellent career opportunity. And you want to seize it! You want to take over a management position and lead your own team. You don't really know how it works. But luckily, there are seminars where you can complete further training to become a manager. Don't they? Do you have to be a born leader or can you learn team leadership? And if so, how does it work? We'll tell you!

But first, back to the scenario. All of you who have not yet been offered the boss job may now be asking yourself, "How do I even get the chance to become a manager?" Basically, there are three imaginable situations:

  1. You take over a well-run business, for example the family business of your parents or another acquaintance.
  2. Your self-employment is going so well that you can hire employees to support and relieve you.
  3. You're in line for a promotion. For example, because the post of Team Leader and you're the best in your field.

Admittedly, you could still be prepared for situation one if need be. If you've known since childhood that you'll eventually take over your parents' business, you may have already prepared yourself specifically for this.

However, the majority of us did not study management and did not major in people management. In addition, professional competence does not equal leadership competence. Therefore, if any of the above situations apply to you, there is a good chance that you will need to take a leadership course.

Reasons for further training as a manager

"Oh, dear!" you're thinking, "How am I going to do this?" Don't worry, it's not so bad. After all, essential methods can be learned with the help of leadership training. And it's important to know that no one is born a leader. Some people may have useful qualities from the start, such as a strong will to assert themselves, empathy and the gift to inspire people. But these qualities can be learned just as well.

So with practice and lots of experience, you too can become a wonderful, motivating, successful boss. Don't worry, think of the skills as valuable tools that will make your new job easier. After all, you want to be accepted in your new position. If you lack any leadership skills, your team will quickly notice and, in the worst case, not take you and your new role seriously...

The reasons why you should complete further training as a manager are therefore obvious. Now, of course, it is still interesting to learn what you will actually learn during a training as a manager.
