What We Do
Moving into a new role is one of the biggest challenges we face in our careers and becoming a manager for the first time is possibly the biggest. These appointments place both the appointee and appointer in a position of vulnerability.
Becoming a manager is difficult but it is often harder without the back-up of newly learned skills and the learning from experience. It is hard to be a manager when you feel out of control, disorientated, confused and overwhelmed. These struggles that new managers face represent far more the norm, not the exception.
​
New In Role facilitates the process with a combination of intensive skills development workshops and 24/7 coaching. This combination ensures that the new skills are embedded in the daily practice and maximum learning from experience takes place.
​
When new in role, contact us to discuss how we can support you.
We work with clients in two, often integrated ways.
A comprehensive multi-workshop programme for 1st time managers.
A comprehensive multi-workshop programme for 1st time managers. These are people who - for the first time - are in a leadership position where they manage other people. This can be as a result of a promotion and hence they manage those who were previously peers. They have often excelled in their previous role and are used to being successful. However, in many cases they are unaware of the many new aspects of their role – new and wider variety of stakeholders, the transition to getting results though others rather than ‘doing it’ themselves, being ‘piggy in the middle’ between direct reports and boss/organisation, having to make trade-offs, dealing with conflict, to name but a few! During the workshops, these skills and many others are developed and then embedded through integrated coaching sessions. The programme can be tailored to the individual client needs but is based on 10 comprehensive modules that cover all aspects of management that are relevant for the 1st time manager.
Coaching & Mentoring
Whether a manager for the first time or senior executive moving into a new senior executive role, the transitions are significant. We support individual executives throughout that transition with structured ‘first 12 months’ coaching.
Therefore, the coach will:
-
Agree a set of objectives and an action plan with milestones that will be part of the regular discussions.
-
Challenge prioritisation and actual activities against the agreed objectives and the plan/milestones.
-
Review actions/projects/leadership challenges and their impact when they have not resulted in the desired outcome.
-
Guide reflections on significant events in the previous period that have an impact on performance.
-
Be a sounding board and identify barriers as well as accelerators to realising the goals.
Why Work With Us?
Moving into a new role is one of the biggest challenges in anyone’s career – becoming a manager for the first time may well be the biggest.
40-50% of people new in an executive role fail within the first 18 months – this is costly for the individual, the immediate internal stakeholders (colleagues/direct reports) and the organisation as a whole.
Managing someone new in role takes time and effort – most senior managers aren’t able to commit the extra time and effort required
Many rising talents do not realise their potential in the longer term due to lack of awareness of all that is different – what worked in the past for the newly appointed leader may not work in the specific situation they find themselves in now.
Coaches and Mentors are essential to building a successful career.
