How to create a development plan for your new managers and supervisors

...if employees' relationship with their managers is

fractured, then no amount of perks will persuade the

employees to perform at top levels. Employee

engagement is a direct reflection of how employees

feel about their relationship with the boss.

The Importance of Frontline Managers and Achieving Business Priorities

The transition from individual contributor to manager represents a profound

psychological adjustment — A TRANSFORMATION — as managers contend

with their new responsibilities.

New managers must learn how to lead others, to

win trust and respect, to motivate, and to strike

the right balance between delegation and

control. It is a transition many new managers

fail to make. SOURCE: Linda Hill,
