Suddenly in Charge® Management Roundtables
A program for organizations committed to boosting front-line performance of newly minted managers
Do you know that four out of ten newly promoted managers fail within 18 months of starting a new job (according to Manchester Partners, International research)? Training and coaching of newly promoted employees can exponentially increase success rates and develop new managers into high-performance leaders. A study conducted by the International Personnel Association found that training alone increased productivity by 22.4%, while training plus coaching increased productivity by 88%!
Our Suddenly in Charge® Roundtable is a program dedicated to increasing the performance and success of new managers.
Benefits to the organization include:
- Increased productivity and performance
- Seamless transition of leadership
- Increased collaboration up and down the organization
- Reduction of costly turnover
- Increased employee alignment and engagement
- Improved internal and external customer relations
- Strengthened succession planning
Participants will be able to:
- Swiftly resolve real-time situations commonly faced by new managers in transition
- Derive and immediately implement actionable ideas
- Create a workplace environment of commitment, rather than compliance
- Increase their business agility and credibility
- Identify and address blind spots that commonly hinder managers from being successful in their new role
- Set a clear vision and strategy for personal leadership development
- Have more time to focus on increasing the productivity of their team members
- Increase their productivity by decreasing the stress level commonly associated with change
- Anticipate trends and remove roadblocks that impact bottom-line profitability
Our Approach
In a confidential setting, new managers from non-competing industries come together once a month in a peer-to-peer learning environment to discover the secrets of effective leadership, including managing up, working through everyday challenges, improving their communication skills and swiftly building productive relationships throughout their organizations. We will share lessons learned and incorporate best practices to help new managers smoothly transition from individual contributors to effective managers who inspire others to work at their optimal level.
An additional option of one-on-one coaching is available for those employers interested in boosting the return on their investment.
