We work with you to adapt our New Manager Programs to the needs of your organization, focusing on core competencies for learners such as:

Management Intelligence
Enterprise Intelligence (Optional)

Management Intelligence

Our New Manager Programs guide participants to understand their strengths and opportunity areas while giving them new tools to support their direct reports. At the heart of our blended program is our Management Challenge Simulation, which gives New Managers a hands-on, competitive space to practice coaching and giving feedback to direct reports. Participants engage in interactive role-plays and video-based employee conversations.

Core competencies include:

  • Employee Motivators
  • Setting Expectations
  • Building Trust
  • Coaching and Feedback

Enterprise Intelligence

Our solutions for New Managers offer your learners an introduction to leading cross-functional teams, making strategic or difficult decisions, and executing in VUCA environments.  Our optional Enterprise Challenge Simulation places participants in the driver’s seat as organizational leaders and allows them to learn from their own actions and mistakes in a safe environment. Participants hone their enterprise-thinking through research-based, Socratic debriefs and simulated practice scenarios. They gain an understanding of the trade-offs they make as people leaders and practice working through difficult scenarios and situations. 

Core focus areas covered include operating strategically and executing strategy under VUCA conditions. Key learning objectives include communicating and collaborating effectively in cross-functional teams and making effective decisions under pressure.

Audience

The New Manager Program is the perfect learning environment for newly appointed managers who need a challenging, real-world practice environment to flex their leadership and managerial skills.
