The first-time manager experience

The First Time Manager Experience

Studies show that without 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.

This course from the Ken Blanchard Companies® builds on the the best-selling book, The New One-Minute Manager®, to help with the exciting and challenging transition to management. It also introduces concepts from the world’s most trained leadership model, Situational Leadership®.
