Management Training for New Managers

Program Overview

The move from individual contributor to manager is one of the hardest career transitions: success now depends on getting results through others. This practical programme helps first-time managers make that shift with confidence. It covers redefining one's role and priorities, managing former peers, setting clear expectations and goals, delegating effectively, holding productive one-to-one meetings, giving feedback and addressing performance issues, making and communicating decisions, and managing time as a manager. Scenarios reflect common situations in Gulf workplaces, including multicultural teams and working within formal hierarchies.
