Coaching and Developing First-Time Managers February 16, 2012

1.5 General Recertification Credits

The challenges faced by first-time managers are many - lack of training, promotion based on current position performance rather than management qualities, no clear expectations, poor communication, etc. How do you ensure the success of these critical assets? It's not fair to expect them to figure it out on their own.

Map out a successful game plan that begins long before the promotion occurs; a plan that includes clear skill sets and promotional fits, individual development plans, and training and assignments to help the candidate prepare. After all, their success is in your hands. And your organization's success depends on it.

Leave this session armed with a clear set of guidelines for developing successful first-time managers, including:

* Providing regular coaching and candid feedback
* Facilitating two-way, honest communication
* Teaching managers to effectively delegate
* Empowering your new manager
