Enable the Transition to Leadership for First-Time Managers
Move beyond a do’s and don’ts training deck to create a robust first-time manager (FTM) development program.
Onsite Workshop
Without an effective first-time manager (FTM) development plan:
- Investment into leadership development programs are often not sustained.
- Poor management and leadership can lead to low productivity.
- Low business-based decision making, organizational savvy, and talent development competencies in frontline managers.
An effective first-time manager (FTM) development plan:
- Lessens the steep learning curve FTMs often face alone.
- Increases employee productivity, reduces voluntary turnover, and impacts end-consumer satisfaction.
- Improves employee engagement through stronger employee-manager relationships.
