Most frequent questions and answers

How to run first Line manager training?

Ensuring that they are trained and developed early into the role will enable them to get up to speed quickly and also produce results which positively affect the bottom line performance of the business.   

This is a quick guide/outline to follow in order to ensure that new first line managers are ready for the role of management.

  1. Develop their business communication skills

Business communication skills are some of the most important skills to master as managers, whether experienced or new. The problem is, this vital skill is rarely considered.  Not only is it important in the presentation, proposal and reporting functions of the role but also in the management of teams, and relationships in the workplace. 

  1. Improve self-management and leadership 

The most profound lesson a first-line manager can learn is that in order to manage others you must first manage yourself. In today’s business environment leaders are expected to lead by example and leading by example hinges on one major thing: consistency.

Everything from personal behaviour and thinking to decision making and relational skills should be driven by a focus on personal values that do not shift and change in any given situation. Effective leaders do not sell out on their personal values. 

  1. Ensure clarity of instructions and direction 

The most common reason why people fail in their roles is that they do not make it clear enough what they want their people to do and achieve and so the results did not come. This lack of results leads to reduced self-confidence and increased self-doubt.

  1. Encourage coaching and feedback to their people 

The second most common reason why people fail in their roles is that they give no feedback, either positive or negative, on the performance of their people. This leads to a more distant relationship with their people and a lack of motivation. Indeed poor performers begin to think that their work output is OK and acceptable.

The good performers among the team quickly realise that there is no benefit in them performing at the level they are, because there is no feedback and other seem to be ‘getting away with it’, and overall performance drop.

Why is it important to train First Line Managers early into their role?

Hiring or promoting new managers without providing them with the proper training can be a great disservice to your company, with serious negative consequences.

An unskilled manager can have a detrimental effect on the employees he or she manages.

The impacts of poor management on the team include decreased morale, poor communication, worker dissatisfaction, and a general decrease in efficiency and production within the department. This hurts the entire company.
