Transition to Management [a Cambridge Network Course]

The ‘first line manager’ role is unique in organisations as this person is the one level who manages ‘non-managers’. This brings its own set of hurdles to overcome and for people new to managing others there is a lot to learn.

Transition to Management Training Course

This course is aimed at those new to management; those with about 6 months experience as a manager; or those you are looking to promote in the next few months.

Outcomes

  • Adjust your mindset from individual contributor to manager
  • Manage workloads and deadlines

  • Develop your team through good communication and teamwork
  • Identify opportunities for delegation
  • Deliver 1-2-1 reviews and provide developmental feedback
