Support in the First Weeks Makes a Real Difference
The move into management is one of the hardest transitions in a career. New managers often find that technical expertise does not automatically translate into leading people, particularly when they now manage former peers.
This half-day workshop gives managers and supervisors the essentials: how to step into the role with confidence, how to delegate and how to give structured feedback. They leave with a plan for the management challenges they are facing now.
Half-Day Workshop vs Full-Day Programme
Both formats deliver real and immediate improvement to management confidence and capability. The right choice depends on how much depth and practice time your new managers need right now.
| Half-Day Session | Full-Day Programme | |
|---|---|---|
| Positioning | Core leadership transition skills — fast, practical and immediately applicable | Full immersive programme — deep management skill development with extended scenario practice and 90-day action planning |
| Duration | 3–3.5 hours | 6–7 hours |
| Best For | New managers needing a rapid skills foundation and confidence boost | Organisations investing in a structured, sustained leadership development programme for emerging talent |
| Topics Covered | Leadership transition, delegation basics, feedback essentials and managing former peers | All half-day content plus leadership styles, goal setting, motivation, conflict and 90-day action planning |
| Activities | Focused practical exercises with immediate application to real management challenges | Extended role play, group work, scenario practice and personal 90-day development planning |
| Investment | Lower — ideal as part of a wider management development programme | Premium — deeper capability and lasting management confidence from the outset |
