Management & Leadership • First-time management • ~110 min
From Peer to Manager
Yesterday you had lunch together; today you appraise them.
What you'll get: This transition is hard not because management skills are missing, but because a set of existing relationships has to be renegotiated. This 110-minute course takes the relationships first: the three real changes in week one, the do-it-myself trap and the 70% rule, the four parts of a private conversation with each person, three difficult cases including the colleague who also applied — and only then the three foundations of delegating, one-to-ones and feedback.
Who is this course for?
- Anyone just promoted into their first management role
- Anyone about to take over the team they work in
- Senior managers supporting a newly promoted manager
- HR practitioners designing first-time manager programmes
After this course, you will
- Recognise the three core changes and escape the do-it-myself trap
- Have the private conversation with each person about the changed relationship
- Delegate with a stated decision latitude and run useful one-to-ones
- Give feedback promptly so appraisals hold no surprises
