Leadership & Retention
Most new managers are promoted for being great at the job they are about to stop doing, then left to manage on instinct. Our new-manager workshop gives first-time leaders the core skills fast: delegation, feedback, real one-to-ones, and leading former peers.
Why it matters
The manager is the biggest driver of whether people stay and perform. Gallup puts 70% of the variance in team engagement on the manager. Yet we promote someone and hand them that leverage with no training. A struggling new manager quietly drives out the good people on their team.
It is fixable, and cheaply. Good management is a small set of learnable skills, not a personality. We teach the handful that matter most in the first year, with practice, so new leaders build the team instead of straining it.
What the workshop covers
Outcomes
Since the manager drives most of engagement, a competent new manager is one of the highest-leverage retention moves you can make.
New managers reach competence in months instead of learning by trial and error over years, at the team's expense.
Everyone promoted learns the same core habits, so management quality stops being a lottery of who once had a good boss.
Questions
A one-day core session by default, with a half-day option or a multi-session series for deeper practice.
Newly promoted and first-time managers, and anyone about to step into a management role. Also useful for managers who never had training.
Best in cohorts of 8 to 20 so there is room to practice. Larger groups by arrangement.
A fixed fee per cohort by group size. Tell us the headcount and we will scope it.
