New Manager Bootcamp

A practical experience to prepare new managers to get the best from their teams.

  • Our custom solutions are delivered for your specific context and priorities

  • This is beyond traditional training; it’s deeply practical and action oriented

  • Flexible series with monthly sessions or a multi-day bootcamp experience

Overview

In today's complex business environment, the ability for new managers to step up and successfully lead their teams makes a big difference to your business results, your organizational culture, and employee retention. Sadly, many managers lack the capability to effectively lead a team, having been promoted for their technical ability rather than a proven track record in leading people.

Led by Rob, a seasoned expert with three decades of experience in team effectiveness, this interactive bootcamp experience brings easy to digest theory, practical frameworks, and real-world exercises, so your managers are ready to deliver in their critical role.

The content is suitable for new and existing managers and is designed to enable your managers to hit the ground running across many different key areas of team management.

Rob's passion for helping individuals and teams achieve their full potential shines through in this carefully crafted experience. Drawing from his extensive background in enabling managers and leaders to unlock their team’s potential, Rob guides participants through a series of practical and proven frameworks that have consistently delivered results across various industries and organizational levels.

Participants receive optional certification on successful completion.

Newly Promoted Managers Need A Core Toolkit To Be Effective

Key Approach

One: The Power of Enabling Others

  • Welcome new managers to the bootcamp experience that centers around showing them how to empower and enable their teams. Learn the science behind effective teamwork and its impact on outcomes, plus how critical the manager role is

Two: Cultivating a Theory-Based, Results-Focused Mindset (Practice Specific)

  • Understand that management by power is outdated, and truly collaborative approaches generate exponentially greater value for all. Learn that effective frameworks are all based on proven theory, and the focus should always be on driving value for the team and organization

Three: A Framework for Success (Practice Specific)

  • In each session, master a proven practice that enhances the core capability of the new manager and, in turn, enables the team to work effectively. By taking on a new practice in each session, and reinforcing over time, the theory and framework become second nature and drive business value

Four: Real-World Application (Practice Specific)

  • Managers put theory into practice by applying the frameworks to life-like challenges in your organization. Learning by both completing activities and coaching peers who are doing so, the experience enables learning at multiple levels and prepares the managers to be effective with their own teams

Five: Overcoming Obstacles (Practice Specific)

  • Identify common blockers with each practice and learn practical strategies to overcome them. Discover shortcuts that will help managers implement and sustain these practices in their daily work, while building a peer coaching community that will become their safe space for years to come
