PS 8 - From junior to manager
Course overview
Transitioning from a junior employee to a manager is a tough step for anyone. You are leaving the known, what you are good at and stepping into a completely new job and career.  

Many trainees transition to a manager role through internal promotion. This means a peer to manager transition which creates even more challenges. How do you reset relationships and change perceptions as part of starting your new manager role?

What do we cover in this course?

  • Stop doing and start delegating
  • Learning from your superiors
  • Developing your management style and learning to provide guidance
  • Creating partnerships with senior management
  • Developing team and individual goals and communicating openly with your team
