Manager Onboarding: Setting New Leaders Up for Success
The worst thing organizations can do is hire or promote the most technically competent person to management and not set them up for success. Leadership and management development programs only achieve one piece of what managers need to accomplish organizational goals. The rest should be done with manager onboarding. Using the principles of career development and employee onboarding, you can contribute to bottom-line results by helping your managers successfully onboard in their new roles. This session will help you:
· Recognize the reasons why new managers need their own onboarding program.
· Learn how to design a manager onboarding program that will meet organizational goals, both in the case of succession planning
as well as accelerated/unplanned promotions.
· Understand the metrics you can use to evaluate the program’s success.
