Who it’s for

First-time and established managers, and those considering a transition into management. 

Why this course?

Logo: The Leadership Green Room, offering professional development, leadership development and soft skills training, is presented by Republic Bank FoundationWithout proper training, 60% of all new managers underperform for their first two years. First-time managers who receive the necessary tools and training from the start are set up to become leaders who create engaged, productive teams, and drive greater results for your organization.

You want your newly-promoted managers to be successful, effective leaders from the start. But most of the time, new managers struggle and team morale declines. Soon enough, you realize high-performing employees promoted into management lack the skills to be effective managers, which requires a different skill set.

The only training of its kind, The First-time Manager Experience builds on the secrets of the best-selling book The New One Minute Manager®. We know what an exciting but also challenging transition it is to become a manager for the first time. For nearly 40 years, The Ken Blanchard Companies have been training the best managers in the world and created this program specifically for first-time managers.

Learning Outcomes
