The First-Time Manager
A practical programme in the first-time manager, connecting working concepts with team decisions and relevant workplace examples.
About the Course
This programme develops a working approach to the first-time manager in the context of management priorities and execution. Participants move from understanding the main concepts to examining a case, testing alternatives and explaining a practical recommendation. The three modules focus on role transition, team expectations and delegation. Examples are selected after the training brief so that they reflect the responsibilities and experience of the participant group.
Course Objectives
- Explain the role of role transition and identify the information required for a reliable assessment.
- Use a structured worksheet to examine team expectations and compare reasonable alternatives.
- Identify assumptions, missing evidence and implementation concerns related to delegation.
- Prepare a decision brief with responsibilities and performance measures for discussion with a manager and team.
- Translate the exercise into a workplace action plan with owners, review points and measurable progress.
