Thinking of taking the next step towards a managerial career or wondering what management courses your new manager might need? Good management skills can positively impact productivity, performance and overall employee morale.
BEING A LEADER IN A COMPANY IS A GREAT STEP FORWARD IN YOUR CAREER. HOWEVER ACCORDING TO A RECENT CAREER BUILDER SURVEY MORE THAN 26% OF MANAGERS SAID THEY WEREN’T READY TO BECOME A LEADER WHEN THEY STARTED MANAGING OTHERS AND 58% SAID THEY DIDN’T RECEIVE ANY MANAGEMENT TRAINING AT ALL.
When asked what the biggest challenge is as a manager, workers in a management position said the following:
- Dealing with issues between co-workers on my team – 25 %
- Motivating team members – 22%
- Performance reviews – 15%
- Finding the resources needed to support the team – 15%
- Creating career paths for my team – 12 %
3 simple ways companies of all sizes can start new managers down the right path:
1. Provide them with a good grounding in management development training
Training that is focussed on Management skills & People skills will help them understand that the key is to set clear expectations, hold people accountable, communicate frequently, and to take care of their people.
2. Assign a good manager to mentor them
Someone who will take them under their wing, show them the ropes and who listen and care about the prospective supervisor’s success. A good mentor and coach will model good behaviour for the new supervisor to learn.
3. Put the prospective supervisor in different situations and departments
So that he or she can experience different things, mistakes and work with different people.
