Anyone’s first attempt at frontline leadership can be daunting. The trick is to not overload the new leader with too much development too soon. What they need is just enough training and support to get going; to start to manage the team they were probably a member of just a few days ago.

That’s where this model comes in. It is perhaps the first ever to,

(a) relate only to frontline managers and,

(b) empathise with what team members need from a manager.

This is by far the best starting position for a new leader. They were just a team member themselves. This means they are well-placed to know who their team is, what they do and therefore what they actually need, both personally, and organisationally.

The coaching and training that unpack this fresh and user-friendly approach (‘First Month Leader’) is short, to the point, tailorable and practical. It’s specifically designed to launch new team leaders into success from day one. It takes hours, not days, and as such is affordable for organisations with even the tightest training budgets.

The alternative is to leave the new team leader hanging for months in a new role, with less support than they need.
