Before the year ends, invest in the employees who will help lead your organization forward. Energy Workforce’s Core Leadership Skills for New and Upcoming Managers program offers two remaining sessions in Denver and Houston.
Turn Top Performers Into Strong Managers
Every organization depends on its front-line managers to turn strategy into daily results. But promoting a strong performer doesn’t make them a strong leader overnight, and the gap can quietly affect team output, engagement, and turnover. Equipping new managers early is one of the most effective ways to protect those outcomes.
This two-day, interactive program facilitated by Heidrick & Struggles is built for professionals in early-stage management positions. It equips new and emerging managers with the tools to lead confidently, communicate effectively, and foster trust within their teams.
Participants learn through hands-on exercises and return to their teams ready to:
- Lead with greater self-awareness, understanding how their leadership style shapes team dynamics and engagement
- Navigate challenging situations with agility, from difficult conversations to shifting priorities, keeping teams steady and productive
- Delegate with confidence and build bench strength by developing the people they lead
- Foster accountability and drive team performance in support of broader business goals
Who Should Attend
The program is designed for employees entering or serving in their first supervisory or management role across operations, maintenance, field service, project coordination, warehouse, logistics and administrative teams. Whether these leaders guide crews from a rig site, a shop floor or a regional office, the program is built for new managers learning to lead the people they used to work beside, and for the organizations that depend on them.
What Participants Are Saying
A participant from a recent session shared key takeaways, including how the hands-on format sharpened their self-awareness and clarified where to focus their development as a team leader:
“One of the most useful parts for me was comparing the DISC assessment with some of the leadership exercises. The assessment reinforced that I naturally lead through relationships, collaboration, coaching, and influencing people. It also highlighted an area I want to keep developing: pairing a people-first approach with more deliberate accountability, structure, and direct conversations when needed.”
Two Locations, Limited Time
Whether your teams are based in Colorado, Texas, or within travel distance of either, you can enroll emerging leaders in one of two offerings before the year ends:
Seats are limited to keep the experience interactive, so early registration is encouraged. Close the year by strengthening your leadership bench and start the next with managers ready to drive results.
