ARLINGTON, Va. - AussieJournal -- International leadership expert Jeff Ogren will release "Leading From Day One: The Essential Guide for New Supervisors" on September 16, 2025, a comprehensive resource designed to help professionals successfully navigate their transition from individual contributor to team leader.

Drawing from more than 25 years of international leadership experience across eight countries, Ogren addresses the most common challenge organizations face: promoting talented individual contributors without providing them the leadership tools needed to succeed. His career spanning Japan, Ecuador, United Arab Emirates, Lithuania, Canada, Sweden, Jordan, and the United States provides unique insights into universal leadership principles that work across cultures and industries.

"The transition from teammate to team leader is one of the most challenging career moves any professional makes," said Ogren. "This guide provides the practical tools and strategies I wish I had during my first supervisory roles around the world."

Unlike theoretical leadership books, "Leading From Day One" offers step-by-step guidance with worksheets and reflection exercises that transform concepts into practice. The book addresses key challenges including shifting from individual contributor to team leader, building trust and credibility, setting clear expectations, handling difficult conversations, creating psychological safety, effective delegation, and leading through change.
