Survive and Thrive as a New Manager

Overview

Sure, you were good enough to get promoted but being a manager has challenges you never dealt with when you were an employee. The transition to management isn't just a promotion and a pay raise - it's a shift into a new type of role that requires new skill sets and you are bound to trip up along the way when you are first starting out. 

Why you should Attend

Management is a set of processes that keep an organization functioning, measuring performance, problem-solving clarifying jobs. Managers control a group or team to accomplish a goal. So you may have come up through the ranks as a worker bee, maybe you were the top employee and can implement strategic tasks. But just because you excel at the day-to-day work of an organization doesn't mean that you will be great with big-picture initiatives. No one is born knowing how to be a manager. You will need to rise to the occasion and help the whole team see how their work fits into company objectives. And there's a whole lot more that you will need to do to be successful, so let's discuss some of those things that the best leaders do.
