New Managers Leadership Course

Introduction

Promotion into management is an exciting rite of passage for any new graduate. But there are many pitfalls to avoid as one sharpens their skills in an all-round way. While the new manager has been recognized for the technical skills, self and other people management is a minefield. They must learn how to lead others rather than do the work themselves, to motivate, manage their peers, earn trust and respect, and to strike the right balance between delegation and control. It is a transition many find challenging to make.

Who should attend?

This programme is ideal for newly appointed managers, individuals who are being groomed for their first management position, as well as those who are experiencing new pressures within a current management role. It is best suited for individuals with less than two years of managerial experience.

Participants from past programmes have been drawn from a wide range of technical backgrounds and companies, as well as from different age groups.

Course Objectives

This programme aims at equipping new managers with adequate skills on the various areas of management as they transition from being successful individual contributors to effective managers.
