Top Five Courses for New Managers
Having strong managers at every level of management is essential to organisational success. But sometimes this can be a chicken and egg situation; after all, becoming a great manager isn’t something that just happens with a promotion.
We often find that people are promoted because they are technically brilliant in what they do, however, moving from the team to leading the team, demands a whole set of new skills and behaviours.
It is a big leap when taking the first step into management and it can sometimes feel overwhelming as expectations become more demanding from a business, team and line manager perspective. Being a first line manager has its challenges and managers can have a great/poor impact on their team purely by their own behaviours and the type of communication they use when dealing with the team.
The range of line management responsibilities carried out by a manager is far reaching. In our experience, these are the top 5 courses that can have the greatest impact on accelerating good line management practice:
