Being a manager is always a challenge. While some people are born for leadership, most don’t receive the proper training or knowledge to effectively lead, manage different personalities, and navigate conflicts.

Now, a whitepaper from Queen’s Industrial Relations Centre (IRC), can help you become a successful manager.

“Leaders reveal themselves through their behaviour. You do not have to be a manager to be a leader, but to be a respected and effective manager, you must be a great leader,” says Filomena Lofranco, HR consultant, in the document. “By learning and mastering the five managerial superpowers, you will be the best manager you can be.”

The paper delves into the five managerial superpowers, why they are critical in building healthier relationships and increasing productivity, and actionable ways you can master your role and achieve real success as a leader.

It will help you gain essential insights on:

The importance of self-awareness when being an effective and respected manager
Key strategies for managing change and leading your team through transitions
Setting the stage for team culture by taking ownership
Understanding how you deal with conflict, its effect, and the key styles for conflict management
Managing people and different personalities. (If you don’t have this superpower, your other superpowers won’t be as effective as they could be.)
