Description of the training seminar for a beginner leader or manager
We know that nobody is born a leader, but becomes one. Utilize the experience of mentors who are or once were in the place you are looking to be in.
Every specialist, even an outstanding one, after being promoted to his or her first leader position, has to build his or her competences virtually from scratch. In spite of that, some become efficient leaders. They reach for ambitious goals with their teams, regularly achieve them, and, what’s equally important, keep personnel turnover low. We think that this a goal worth going for.
Our experience at Leaders Island shows that the most efficient form of supporting beginner leaders and managers is to hook them up with mentors who are or once were in their place.
This is why, during the Foundation of a Beginner Leader seminar, we will provide you with practical leadership experience in the form of our model: Leading a Winning Team.
Depending on the edition, the training seminar will be hosted by:
Let’s get to know each other…
Józef Kącki
Can you, after graduating from a leading technical university, follow a path other than engineering? My story shows that education is just the beginning of the road…
I built my managerial skills, and later my leadership skills, based on training, MBA studies and the tips of mentors. However, above all, I reflected on daily challenges, successes and failures.
I gained experience during 10 years in the IT industry, leading PM, marketing and professional services departments. I was a managing director of the first company listed on New Connect.
Let’s get to know each other…
Dawid Ostręga
I am not a trainer, a “coach” nor a theorist. I am a specialist in building teams, which I have proven in many places and various fields. I have managed in such firms as EPAM System, IBM, SolarWinds and SKK. I have set up from scratch four software development centres in Krakow.
For 20 years, I obtained experience outside Poland with the intention of bringing it back. After graduating in London, I didn’t want to be seen as just an IT engineer. I wanted to widen my personal horizons and show a wide range of managerial skills. To do this, I accepted a scholarship to Wesley College in the USA to do an MBA.
The form of the training seminar, or what’s waiting for you
For you, this training seminar will be a four-day journey from doubts, repeated errors, and misunderstandings to efficient actions based on your personal performance as a leader, built on solid foundations.
We have designed the program to cover eighteen steps that form a logical, cause-and-effect process of building a team you have just taken over. For us, this journey is a pretext to discuss key skills and organize the knowledge we provide in an engaging manner. Our intention is to take away the magical halo that surrounds the skills of a leader. Instead, we show good leadership practices as a sequence of actions, which, when taken at the right intervals, result in continued efficiency of a leader.
The schedule of the program is two days, a break of about a week, two more days. This form allows for assimilating knowledge in a better way.
Day 1
The program starts with placing emphasis on the key role of self-reflection at the personal level and on the role you play as a leader in specific business surroundings: in the team and in the organization. We discuss the mechanisms of building team spirit on the basis of team goals and individual goals, as well as the resulting consequences.
Day 2
Building on the reflections from day one, we explore the forms in which a leader may proactively affect team dynamics. We discuss team roles, monitoring progress, and the optimal style of working with a team. We ponder over how to strengthen the people we work with through everyday interactions, communication, and delegation.
Day 3
Having developed an awareness of the correct attitude in leaders and having provided them with experience in terms of building a structurally well-prepared team, we refer to the actions that constantly fuel the team with energy, so that it can keep winning. We will also show you how not to get lost in a multitude of the actions taken.
Day 4
The last day of the training seminar focuses on the elements that determine your efficiency in working with a team in the long run. We will conclude with a retrospection at the level of knowledge and, more importantly, the experience shared by the mentor—in a form that will allow you to safely implement them in everyday work.

I took part in training for young managers. It was one of the most interesting and most valuable training sessions I have attended. Thanks to it, I opened my eyes to issues which I had not even considered before. I am convinced that implementing the subjects you presented improved the relations in my team and its effectiveness. The team members also noticed this themselves. I also feel that my attitude has been recognised by my superiors as I begin work in a new position in March.

Thank you!
For these four days of interesting meetings, which have allowed me to boldly take steps in the area of management (and not only). I have taken part in several, and perhaps more, training courses. None of them were as interesting, well-prepared and conducted so well. It’s nice to work on myself 😉

Foundations of a young manager’ is one of the most interesting trainings I participate till now. I can truly and with great pleasure recommend this training as one of the most inspiring for all young managers being on the start of their journey with people management. But what is even more important I can also recommend this training for all who aspirate to become a manager. Jozef is great teacher and in clear and transparent way is taking you through knowledge which is obvious but very seldom used by managers on any phase of their professional road. Being part of this training makes me more conscious of aspects which are real base to become good and effective manager. Personally if I could I would repeat again this training after some time to verify this knowledge and more deeply & consciously interact with trainer and his own experience. Besides of all I recommend this training because of its climate and examples taken from life but shared in such way that you will never forget them. My advise would be to direct this training also to managers with long period on manager position as many of aspects touched on this training is very often not known or clearly neglected by senior stuff.
