Adaptive Leadership Skills for First-Time Managers

Adaptive Leadership Skills for First-Time Managers is ONA’s four-week interactive virtual professional development course on Zoom, running Tuesday, August 4, 2026 to Tuesday, August 25, 2026, with 10 seats remaining. Designed for new people managers in their first two years—including those moving from peer to boss—and seasoned managers seeking a leadership reset and return to basics, it offers practical advice and immediately usable strategies rather than stale business tropes and theory. Interactive sessions guide participants in crafting a personalized leadership strategy and cover difficult conversations, resilience amid constant change, assessing and maximizing leadership style and its impact on relationships with teams, peers and bosses, building and maintaining trust, and creating collaborative, productive environments where everyone can do their best work—helping build creative, collaborative, resilient teams ready for shifting conditions in journalism now and in the future.
