New Manager Accelerator

12 simulations. The first year of management, practised before the situations force it.

The first year of management is where habits form and credibility is built or lost. Most new managers learn by trial and error. This program gives you the practice before the error: twelve real conversations, from setting expectations to holding the line, where your choices move things forward or make them worse. Feedback, a results report, and a certificate are included.
