In ACRP Clinical Researcher, Katie Dixon, Senior Statistician at Phastar, reflects on the transition from graduate to manager and the support required for new leaders to thrive.
“As outlined in my own experience, shadow-lead roles are one way organizations can support staff as they prepare to transition into management roles. Another effective intervention is the development of leadership-specific training materials. These can focus on key areas like collaboration, organization, client interactions, and other important characteristics for an effective team leader.” Dixon explains.
