Workshop on ‘Recently Elevated Manager’

Introduction:

Newly elevated or promoted Managers/executives need a different skill set and attitude to perform managerial functions. They now have to experience a paradigm shift from a follower to a leader mindset. For example, because of their earlier brilliant performance in technical area these executives may have got promoted, now they have to get work done from people who may have been their colleagues at the same level.

On getting elevated to a managerial position from executive status he first needs to develop managerial attitude & skills. The new manager needs to acquire a macro perspective, a broad vision of his role as a manager. If he has to manage former peers he needs special skills and transition tips. He/she has to be aware and overcome some common mistakes like: Still trying to do things yourself, focusing on details rather than goals, refusing to make decisions, making promises you can’t keep, holding back and such others.
