The New Manager Launchpad
FREE training for potential new managers and the business to decide together whether the role is a good fit
Think like a Leader
The Do you really want to lead video will set the scene for leading effectively as opposed to simply managing to-do lists for a group of people. This section of the training introduces the opportunity to develop a team so that they can achieve so much more than they knew was possible, using coaching and empathy.
Ensure the change is planned effectively
The New Manager Navigator Word document is a framework that can be used by the business and the new manager to ensure the role and it’s responsibilities have been thought through and communicated effectively. It removes the chance for misunderstandings and opens up conversations that otherwise may be difficult to broach.
Set realistic expectations
Often what a person expects when they move into management turns out not to be the reality. By setting realistic expectations it is far more likely that the right person will get the job, saving the time, cost, morale damage and effort of training someone as a manager only to find it wasn’t the right move for them.
Build excitement
Managing people is incredibly rewarding. People who are a good fit for leadership will be excited after this mini-training, and eager to move forward, understanding more about what is in store for them.
Build confidence
After completing this training, both the business and the person moving into people management can move forward confidently, knowing what to expect. By removing the unknowns, stress relating to the change is greatly decreased and everyone can start planning for this exciting new career move.
Who is this for?
This is perfect for you if:
You are considering whether you want to move into people management and would like to get clear on whether it’s right for you
OR
You would like to recruit existing staff into a people management role and you want to give them the best chance of it being a huge success
How will this help me?
Too often a move into management does not go as smoothly as we’d like.
It may be that the business isn’t entirely clear yet on what the role will involve.
Or perhaps the person moving into management wasn’t clear on what the change means for them.
This FREE resource helps the new manager get clear on what it means to be a people manager and what it means to be a leader. The right person for the job will feel motivated, inspired and excited about what lies ahead.
It will also help the new manager and the business to focus on the details of the role together, acknowledge where there might still be things to figure out, and move forward together - with far more confidence that everyone knows where they stand.
Clarity provides a far greater chance of success and happiness for the new manager, their team, and the business.
