Surviving Your First 90 Days as a New Manager

Introduction

Congratulations - you got the promotion, but now what do you do? New managers are often thrust into the role with little or no support or even a chance to prepare.

This virtual classroom seminar will help you break down the first 90 days in the role and give you key activities to focus on to allow you to settle into the role and find your feet.

• Stage two - Strengthen - boosting communication and building team coherence:
• Playing to your natural management style and building on yours and the team’s strengths
