Promoted into Incompetence: Why Good Workers Become Poor Leaders—And How Organizations Can Change That
Learning & Development
*SPECIAL 2-PART WEBINAR* Part One April 30, Part Two May 7
Why do technically skilled employees sometimes falter when promoted into leadership roles? Drawing on research and real-world experience across government, higher education, and the nonprofit sector, Dr. David E. Fraser explores how well-intentioned promotion practices can unintentionally set employees up for failure. This two-part CSU Systemwide webinar examines the “competence trap” and its organizational drivers in Session One, followed by practical, evidence-based solutions in Session Two. Participants will gain insight into how to better identify leadership readiness, strengthen internal mentorship pipelines, and realign promotion systems for long-term organizational success. Based on his forthcoming book, Promoted into Incompetence, Dr. Fraser’s engaging sessions blend scholarship, humor, and practical wisdom for leaders at every level.

ChatGPT for Administrative Efficiency: Building Reusable Workflows That Reduce Rework
Learning & Development
Facilitated by Chris Tauchman, CSU Chico
All employees invited to participate!
This session explores how CSU staff can move beyond one-off AI use and begin applying ChatGPT through simple, repeatable workflows that reduce rework and improve consistency across everyday tasks. Designed for participants who have already experimented with ChatGPT, the workshop focuses on how to structure interactions so context, intent, and quality carry forward instead of starting from scratch each time. Participants will see how to turn rough inputs into decision-ready outputs, reuse effective prompts across similar tasks, and refine results without increasing effort. Rather than focusing on individual tasks, the session emphasizes workflow thinking, including preparing inputs, guiding outputs, and improving results through iteration, while maintaining human judgment and responsibility. The session includes demonstration and guided discussion. No pre-work is required. Meeting ID: 891 0614 9181 Passcode: 490167.

Learning & Development
*SPECIAL 2-PART WEBINAR* Part One April 30, Part Two May 7
Why do technically skilled employees sometimes falter when promoted into leadership roles? Drawing on research and real-world experience across government, higher education, and the nonprofit sector, Dr. David E. Fraser explores how well-intentioned promotion practices can unintentionally set employees up for failure. This two-part CSU Systemwide webinar examines the “competence trap” and its organizational drivers in Session One, followed by practical, evidence-based solutions in Session Two. Participants will gain insight into how to better identify leadership readiness, strengthen internal mentorship pipelines, and realign promotion systems for long-term organizational success. Based on his forthcoming book, Promoted into Incompetence, Dr. Fraser’s engaging sessions blend scholarship, humor, and practical wisdom for leaders at every level.
