First Time Management

This blended programme consists of a pre-workshop assignment and two one-day workshop modules focused on the interpersonal skills needed to succeed as a new manager

Available as a series of virtual events, delivered via Zoom or MS Teams

Overview

A survey of those contemplating management and those new to the role, conducted by one of our clients, identified a number of concerns that broadly fit into three categories:

  • Personal and professional impact
  • Managing and developing people, and
  • Communicating and influencing, specifically handling conflict.

This programme was developed specifically to address these concerns by offering a blended programme providing a mixture of facilitator led input, discussions and practical exercises that invite participants to reflect on their own behavioural preferences and competence.

The programme consists of four elements:

  • A pre-workshop assignment involving reading, reflective exercises and completion of two questionnaires that are discussed during the workshop
  • A highly participative two-day modular workshop that can be delivered on consecutive days or with a short period of seven to ten days between modules
  • Two short exercises that are completed in the participants’ own time between day one and day two of the programme
  • A series of ‘on-line’ resources available to participants after the workshop, expanding on the topics discussed during the event, available for download from South East Training’s website or your own organisation’s intranet.

Aims

The aim of the programme is to enhance participants’ confidence in tackling the management role by offering them practical strategies and skills to help them manage their teams effectively.
