Essential Skills for New Managers
Becoming a manager for the first time is a steep change for most people. It requires a shift from technical or role expertise to people expertise. These challenges are amplified when promotion occurs within a single organisation. Smart organisations are moving away from letting people ‘find their feet by themselves’ and are helping new and inexperienced managers develop essential skills.
Essential Skills For New Managers is one of our ready-to-tailor leadership programmes with a strong pragmatic focus. Workshops can be delivered as is, or act as a time and cost-efficient starting point for developing personalised learning for your organisation.
