Overview
Doing the work and managing it are very different jobs. As a new manager you spend more time in meetings, on forms, projections and people problems, and you worry about whether your team shows up on time and delivers, not just yourself. You can no longer ignore the toxic team member.
The best performers are often promoted to team leader, supervisor or manager, yet few get training for the new skills the role demands. This 60-minute new manager training addresses that gap.
You'll learn to overcome the "I can do it better" syndrome, delegate for results, communicate without misunderstandings, give bad-news feedback and take satisfaction in other people's growth.
Why attend: If you're new to management and want to avoid the mistakes many new managers make, this session gives you practical answers to the common problems of the role, from managing friends to establishing your authority and handling stress. It suits new supervisors, managers and team leaders, and experienced managers who want a refresher.
