This requires a different set of skills and knowledge than those typically required of individual contributors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While many employees might have strong organizational, prioritization, and problem-solving skills, managers also need to have good interpersonal skills, be adept at planning and strategic thinking, and know how to delegate work, coach and motivate their team members.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"longdesc-return-26403\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-26403\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/11\/1_Untitled-design-8.jpg\" alt=\"A bearded man with glasses, who is a new manager, meets with his new team.\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" longdesc=\"https:\/\/www.intoo.com\/us?longdesc=26403&amp;referrer=26399\" \/>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why First-Time Managers May Not Be Prepared<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some employees may aim to be promoted into management positions and use the experience they have gained to their advantage in their new roles. However, when the position is suddenly put upon an employee, that individual may not be prepared for the additional challenges that come with having to assume another\u2019s responsibilities without any structured help with that transition. This is true especially in the wake of layoffs, even for those employees who want to be promoted.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.intoo.com\/us\/blog\/how-to-support-remaining-employees-after-layoff\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">stress of the layoffs can make it even more difficult<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for these new managers to adjust to their new role.

After all, while leadership qualities may not always be innate, they can be learned. Ideally this first-time manager training would be provided before a change event occurs, as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.intoo.com\/us\/blog\/2-strategies-for-your-change-management-plan\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">it can be an important part of succession planning and change management<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and can help prepare for these situations. But even if the training needs to happen after a layoff or other change event occurs, career coaching, workshops, and mentorship programs can help a manager adjust to and be better equipped for their new role.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Effective first-time manager training should be a comprehensive and ongoing process. It should cover essential skills such as delegation, coaching, and communication. Managers should also be trained on how to balance the needs of their team with the needs of the company, how to make tough decisions, and how to motivate their employees. The training should also help new managers to understand company culture, policies, and procedures, and ensure they have a clear understanding of their role and responsibilities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Ensure ongoing support and resources<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beyond the initial training, ongoing support is also essential. Managers should have access to mentors or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.intoo.com\/us\/blog\/what-can-career-coach-help-with\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">coaches who can provide feedback and guidance<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Regular check-ins and opportunities for growth and professional development can also help to support the ongoing development of new managers. Employers can also provide resources such as industry publications, seminars, and other learning opportunities that can help managers stay up-to-date with the latest trends and best practices in their field.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Offer encouragement and flexibility<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s also essential to recognize that the transition to management can be difficult and overwhelming. Employers can provide new managers with the encouragement and the work-life balance they need to succeed. This can include flexible schedules, access to mental health resources, and other programs that can help to reduce stress and improve overall well-being.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"longdesc-return-26404\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-26404\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/11\/Untitled-design-7.jpg\" alt=\"A multicultural group of new managers sit in a meeting about first-time manager training.\" width=\"640\" height=\"425\" longdesc=\"https:\/\/www.intoo.com\/us?longdesc=26404&amp;referrer=26399\" \/>What Can Happen if New Managers Are Not Supported<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Without proper training and support, first-time managers can become overwhelmed and discouraged.
