Be the Boss Everyone Wants to Work For: A Guide for New Leaders

Think about when you first became a manager in your organization. What was it like?

One of the hardest transitions in any leader’s career is the one from a high-potential individual contributor to his or her first formal leadership position. Many of them are frontline managers at entry- or first-levels of management and they are the next generation of leaders, the pipeline for the top leadership positions of organizations. Clearly, developing and supporting first-time managers is an organizational imperative. And you may think that organizations provide the help and support first-time managers need in making that shift. 

Think again. 

Not enough time, effort, resources, and support is given to first-time managers. In fact, a recent CareerBuilder survey showed that almost 60% of first-time managers receive no training when they become managers for the first time. 

In this session, Bill will share insights from his own research at the Center for Creative Leadership on first-time managers which will help set a foundation for the success of any first-time manager and strengthen any organization’s pipeline of leaders. 

LEARNING OBJECTIVES FOR GOOD MEMBERS:

  • Why first-time managers are so important to building a pipeline of leaders in organizations and why they need more help, support, and development.
  • Based on research, the six important aspects first-time managers must flip to be effective.
  • Practical, actionable tips and advice to help, support, and develop first-time managers.
  • What you can do to help first-time managers who are first-level, frontline supervisors and leaders.

 ** This workshop is APPROVED for SHRM Re-certification Credits through our partner - UCF Continuing Education -- who makes this re-certification for credit hours possible.
