First Time Managers Program
An individual contributor or a professional getting promoted and transitioning into a management role for the first time is both exciting and extremely challenging. Very often, these First Time Managers are not as effective as the organization would want them to be. It takes a totally different mindset to excel in a new role that is no longer only about managing oneself but also a team of colleagues who were peers yesterday. So clearly there is an urgent need to train these young bunch of people who represent the future leadership bench strength of an organization.
Program Objective
- To understand the role of a new leader in today’s context as well as to know the competencies required for success in the new role.
- To equip first-time managers with the mindset, skillset, and toolset to take on the responsibilities of a managerial role and deliver sustainable high-quality results.
- To enable first-time managers to navigate the challenges and successfully transition from an individual contributor to a leader of a team.
Challenges faced by First Time Managers (FTMs)
- Managing team members, peers and managing upwards
- Delegation of tasks and influencing others
- Developing managerial and personal effectiveness
- Managing internal stakeholders, politics, and leading team achievement
Who Should Attend
- Recent promotion to a managerial role with team leadership responsibilities
- Join expert instructors and small groups of your peers for training that provides positive returns to you as an employee, practitioner or executive
