Specialists who become managers often encounter a variety of challenges: authority in the team; communication with employees who were their colleagues yesterday; considerable increase in the work load because it seems that their specialist work must also be performed, while the team presents their questions about their work; communication; motivation; feedback―these challenges seem to never end.

New manager training programmes are focused on the basic skills that a new manager needs first: the manager’s functions, authority and powers, situational management, goal formulation, communication, task delegation, team building, motivating people, provision of feedback, and acting in situations of uncertainty.
Many people who complete this training say that “now everything has fallen into place and it is very clear to me where I should start, what the priorities are and how I can become an effective manager soon.” And then… the amount and variety of management and leadership topics is immense…
By the way, these programmes are not just suitable for new managers: we can successfully adapt the programmes to different manager teams that need to find a common language.
Become an organisation that has the future.
