Most new managers are promoted because they were great individual contributors, but leading a team requires an entirely different skill set. Without proper training, they often struggle with imposter syndrome, communication challenges, and managing performance effectively — leading to frustration, disengagement, and high turnover. 

The truth is, only 12% of leaders rate themselves as effective in key leadership skills, and fewer than 5% of companies provide leadership training at all levels. This gap leads to high turnover, imposter syndrome, and teams that lack clear direction. 

Join us for an insightful webinar on closing the leadership gap with new managers, where we’ll explore how organizations can accelerate leadership development, boost confidence, and reduce managerial failure rates. 

What You’ll Learn: 

  • The Leadership Development Gap: Why many new managers struggle and how it impacts team performance and retention 
  • Overcoming Imposter Syndrome: Practical tools to build confidence and step into leadership roles with clarity and purpose 
  • Actionable Strategies to Close the Gap: Best practices for accelerating leadership proficiency, reducing turnover, and improving team engagement 
  • Best Practices for Leaders with New Managers on Their Team: How to support and develop first-time managers to set them up for long-term success 

Who Should Attend? 

  • New managers looking to build confidence and leadership skills 
  • Leaders and executives responsible for developing first-time managers 
  • HR and talent development professionals seeking effective management training solutions 

With structured guidance and real-world insights, this session will equip you with the tools to empower new managers and drive team success.
