• Have you just been catapulted into a leadership role and feel like you’re swimming against the tide?
• Are you prepared to navigate this new landscape without feeling overwhelmed or isolated?

The leap from team player to team leader is filled with unseen challenges and high expectations.

In most organizations, top performers are often promoted to supervisory or managerial roles. Ironically, this shift means spending less time on what you excel at and more time on tasks you may have little or no training for.

“Research shows that while 95% of workplace training focuses on job-specific skills, only 5% prepares you for managing others. This leaves new managers struggling with critical skills like effective communication, setting deadlines, resolving conflicts, and inspiring their teams to succeed.”

In this 90-minute webinar, Larry Johnson addresses the common challenges faced by new managers and provides practical solutions, including:

• • Making the psychological leap from doer to manager, and handling the emotions that come with this major role change.
  • Managing friends who are now your subordinates, including setting new boundaries and adjusting your behavior in team settings.
  • Avoiding the five most common mistakes new managers make, which, while not guaranteed to derail your success, have the potential to do so.
  • Adapting your leadership style to meet the needs of your team, with a model for knowing how, when, and where to adjust.
  • Establishing your authority and earning the respect of your team.
  • Delegating for results, including using a model to assign the right amount of authority for each task.
  • Communicating effectively to prevent misunderstandings, with one key question to eliminate SNAFUs.
  • Motivating your team using the wisdom of Bear Bryant and applying the Pygmalion Effect to bring out their best.
  • Conducting tough conversations using a prescribed Conversational Roadmap that gets results without damaging relationships.
  • Utilizing recognition and praise to motivate your team without causing resentment.
  • Following 13 essential Do’s & Don’ts to increase your chances of success as a new manager.

Join us to gain the skills you need to thrive as a new supervisor or manager and lead your team to excellence.

“Transitioning from an individual contributor to a management role can be a challenging shift. As any experienced manager will tell you, there’s a significant difference between doing the work yourself and guiding others to achieve success.”

As a new manager or supervisor, you’ll face several new responsibilities:

• • Shift from doing to managing: Instead of focusing on the tasks you love, you’ll spend more time in meetings, filling out forms, making projections, and addressing personnel issues.
  • Ensuring team quality: It’s no longer just about the quality of your own work; you must now ensure that your team’s output meets high standards.
  • Managing time and attendance: While you previously only worried about your own punctuality, now you need to ensure your team arrives and works on time.
  • Meeting deadlines: The pressure of meeting deadlines shifts from your shoulders to your entire team, making their timeliness your responsibility.
  • Addressing toxic behaviors: Ignoring problematic team members is no longer an option; as a manager, you must take action to resolve these issues.
  • Staying late: Unlike before, you may find yourself staying late to solve problems that couldn’t be resolved during the workday.
  • Maintaining confidentiality: There will be organizational information you must keep to yourself, even from your team members.
  • Exercising discretion: Casual conversations and gossip are off-limits; as a manager, you must exercise good judgment in all interactions.
  • Navigating new relationships: The dynamic changes—you must observe new levels of decorum and may no longer be “everyone’s friend.”

These changes can be daunting and may lead to feelings of stress, including depression or unexplained anger. However, the rewards of becoming a manager can be significant. You’ll have the opportunity to:

• • Help your team solve problems
  • Witness the growth of your team members
  • Increase your impact on the organization
  • Advance your career
  • Expand your influence
  • Potentially earn more money

While the transition from Doer to Supervisor/Manager is challenging, it can also be incredibly rewarding. In this webinar, Larry Johnson will provide you with practical tips and insights to ease this transition and increase your chances of success in your new role.
