Overview
New managers, supervisors and team leads work on the front line with your employees, customers and markets, and some will become your future leaders. Yet most organizations promote strong individual contributors because of their technical skill, and many struggle to see that the job is now about helping others achieve, not personal output.
This 60-minute new manager training works as a leadership bootcamp. It gives newly promoted managers practical skills they can use right away, starting with why new leaders fail and the key tasks of the first 90 days.
Through a firefighter teamwork case study and keys drawn from successful leaders, participants learn to ramp up quickly, take charge, align with their own boss and begin thinking and acting as leaders.
Why attend: Stepping up from doing the work yourself to leading others, whether you were a peer, an individual contributor or a project manager, is a major shift for anyone. Success depends on three changes: earning credibility instead of leaning on formal authority, building teamwork and accountability instead of controlling everything, and leading people rather than managing tasks, much like a violinist who becomes the conductor. It suits new or recently promoted managers, supervisors and team leaders, and the executives and HR leaders who develop them.
