New Manager Training
You're a top performer, so you get the promotion to manager. But doing your own thing well where you're in control is not the same as managing and leading people where delegating and letting go are not exactly your strengths. And The Peter Principle is nipping at your heels.
What needs to happen before you take action and Get Out of Your Own Way... and Help Your People Do the Same?
- Have your department miss its numbers two quarters in a row?
- Have people complaining to your boss about you?
- Lose a prized customer or client to your competitor?
- Get sued for harrassment when you push on your people too hard?
- Start smoking, eating, drinking too much or get sick
- Have more arguments at home with your spouse and kids?
- Have your boss think that promoting you was a mistake?
- Be demoted from manager back to sales, which makes the most sense, but feels like a body blow to your career?
You can wait for any of these wake up calls to wake you into taking action. Or you can do what companies who have seen high performers Peter (principle) out and hire Dr. Mark Goulston to help your high potentials become effective managers and then assist the cream of that crop in becoming great leaders.
