Why is this developing new managers course important?
New managers are likely to be raring to go with their personal development – you’ll rarely have a problem getting them to engage with it. Instead, as you’ll have discovered, the problem is to work out exactly what they already know, and to build on this.
Internal hires may have built up extensive knowledge as they’ve progressed within your organization, but how can you be sure what they know, so that you can identify what their next steps should be? Or, what if they’ve picked up bad habits that they don’t know about – or want to admit?
The situation is doubly difficult if you’re working with an external recruit. He or she may have “baggage” from previous roles, or wide gaps in knowledge due to having worked in a different environment. You won’t have a formal record of what they know beyond their resumé, which is unlikely to provide a sufficiently detailed learning history.
Plus, with both groups, it can be a challenge to work out what knowledge and skills they don’t have – without subjecting them to a baptism of fire, or wasting their time with learning that’s too basic.
