Taking a sink or swim approach when recruiting or promoting new manager into a role is risk.
That’s why it’s important to help new managers succeed when they join your business or promoted to lead a new team.
Unfortunately, most business training focuses on technical skills and not the soft skills that are critical for new managers to succeed.
Very often teams can feel threatened by a new manager, because they don’t know what to expect and they need to figure out how to work with them in the early stages, which can result in a productivity dip or even talent attrition.
One of the most challenging aspects of being a new manager is building trust with their new team and helping them to lead, manager and motivate individuals and their team to achieve the results they need.
Another challenge facing new managers is engaging their teams in planning, contributing ideas for improving efficiency or effectiveness without coming across as a dictator who only cares about profits at any cost.
