Transitioning into a manager position is a difficult process and newly appointed managers need to learn how to strike a balance between maintaining their new HR responsibilities whilst continuing their 'day job'. This can feel overwhelming without the proper training and support.

Positive Leadership

It is a common misconception that employees who are successful in their role as a manager are also providing good leadership to their team.

Managers are defined as “a person who is directly responsible for managing the work of someone else in a company or business, and who is at least one level above that person”.

Leaders are defined as “a person with the ability to communicate, to persuade, to encourage, and to inspire people to take meaningful and productive actions”.

Leading a team is not the same as dictating to a team. Effective leadership encourages high performance and cultivates a culture of success in the workplace. Poor leadership may lead to low productivity levels and high staff turnover that can have serious consequences for the organisation.

It is vital that the leaders of the organisation lead by example. This ensures consistency in approach and means that team members know what is expected of them and what to expect from their leaders.  Due to recent events employees may be working remotely, worried about what the future may bring or struggling with their mental health and so now more than ever organisations need strong leaders in management roles.

An effective leader should have a good working relationship with their team, built upon trust and respect. While this can take time to build, a manager should consider how they might encourage good working relationships

Help is at hand!

Clear Bridge HR run an Effective Management Solutions training course for employees who are new to management or are currently in the role but are in need of some support. It is also useful to run the course for all managers in the business to set clear expectations across the bar.

The course is run as a 1 day on site / off site course and can also be run virtually via webinar. 

The course covers three main areas which are:

·      Understanding the role of a manager

·      Leading and communicating

·      Managing tasks

During the training we break down each element of managerial and leadership responsibility to enable delegates to gain a full understanding of what is expected of them from a best practice, but also an employee wellbeing perspective. Our aim is to ensure that delegates complete the course feeling confident, empowered and excited about this new phase in their career.

Our Effective Management Solutions training course can also be run in conjunction with 121 coaching to ensure continued success and development within a management role.
