First-time managers program
What turns a strong specialist into a manager is not only training, but having someone beside them who has made the same transition. The new manager works with an experienced manager on feedback, delegation and difficult conversations.
Moving from specialist to manager is one of the hardest thresholds in a career. Mistakes made in this period lower the engagement of both the person and their team.
