The New Manager: Making the Transition

Course Overview

NOTE: This Fast Track course on Making the Transition includes the content from our two Bite-Sized courses:

  • The New Manager: Your First Moves
  • The New Manager: Choosing Your Management Style

It also includes additional Intro and Wrap Up units, and an Assessment Test.

In this course, we introduce you to how to set yourself up to succeed in a management role, in a style that suits you and your situation.

You'll start with seeing how, as the leader of a team, not a member, your role will change, and how to approach it in the right way.

Next, we show you how to get off on the right foot by knowing how to inspire people ... while always delivering on what you say.

You'll also learn five simple rules that will help you to develop more quickly.

We then take you through the ten main management styles, how they fit into three main groups, and what's good (and bad) about all of them.

Finally, you'll see how to identify a management style that's right for you - maybe with some adjustments. But also how you must always be authentic and true to yourself.

By applying what you learn here, you’ll be in a position to give a solid foundation to your career as a manager, and to set it on the path to success.
