Management is still often seen as a promotion in modern companies. However, it is a skill that must be acquired before taking on a role of responsibility. So, how can you prepare managers for their new positions?
To address this challenge, three steps are essential:
- Identify potential talents to become managers
- Support first-time managers in their new roles
- Provide continuous learning for these team leaders
To effectively meet this challenge, which affects all companies, we have created a high-quality partnership with Mind Tools to integrate their learning content into Edflex. Learn more in this article.
