Frequently Asked Questions

While the most beneficial skill sets a manager needs can vary based on their role and where they sit in the organization, the following skills can provide individuals with a robust foundation that will help them thrive:

  • Communication: Sending and receiving messages clearly and effectively; essential for conveying instructions, building relationships, and resolving conflicts
  • Empathy: Understanding and responding to the needs and emotions of team members
  • Active listening: Paying attention to what others are saying and showing genuine interest
  • Conflict resolution: Resolving conflicts and reaching agreements through diplomacy and compromise
  • Change management: Addressing resistance with compassion and helping team members navigate through transitions with confidence

Providing the development opportunities that a new manager needs requires assessing the individual’s strengths and weaknesses and the requirements of the role.

CMOE offers needs-assessment services that can help you identify which needs to address during your new manager training programs. You can then create a training framework based on the new manager’s needs and objectives, allowing you to provide targeted training that is highly relevant to the individual.

The training required for a manager depends on their responsibilities, experience, and areas for improvement. Any of the following may also be considered when determining a manager training curriculum:

  • Organizational goals
  • Industry trends
  • Team dynamics
  • Managerial style
  • Team member development
  • Communication style
  • Succession planning

Dos

  • Build relationships: Get to know your team members. Understand their strengths, weaknesses, and career goals. As their manager, you can unlock opportunities that align with those skill sets and objectives.
  • Communicate effectively: Clearly communicate expectations, provide direction, and be open to feedback from your team.
  • Provide support and guidance: Offer guidance and support when team members need it.
  • Recognize and reward achievements: Acknowledge and reward your team’s hard work and accomplishments.
  • Continuously learn and develop: Strong managers understand that learning and growth is a continuous journey, no matter their role or position. They stay up to date on industry trends and best practices and find ways to further elevate their skills.

Don’ts

  • Micromanage: Rather than micromanaging, give your team members the autonomy they need to succeed. Trust that they are capable of getting their work done in the way they see fit.
  • Play favorites: Treat all team members fairly and equitably. Failing to do so can result in a lack of trust and low morale among team members.
  • Avoid conflict: Address issues head on and be open to feedback. View conflict as an opportunity to learn and develop.
  • Overwhelm your team: Set realistic expectations and avoid overloading your team. Get their feedback on what is and is not a realistic workload.

New managers should communicate in a way that builds trust, establishes rapport, and creates a positive working environment with their team.

Here are examples of phrases that can help achieve this:

  • “I’m here to support you.” This shows a manager’s commitment to helping team members succeed.
  • “Let’s work together to achieve our goals.” This emphasizes teamwork and collaboration.
  • “I’m open to feedback and suggestions.” This encourages workforce members to share their thoughts and ideas, fostering a transparent and growth-oriented environment.
  • “I value your contributions.” This recognizes the importance of each person’s talents and efforts.
  • “I’m here to listen.” This creates an open and supportive environment.
  • “We’ll have regular check-ins to discuss your progress.” This establishes a clear communication plan and shows investment in team members’ success and career journey.
  • “I’m excited to learn more about your roles and responsibilities.” This shows interest in understanding the team’s work.
