Manage Others – South East Asia
Date:
TBD October
Description
The managers for this workshop in this Career Stage are called as “First time managers”. It has
been researched that this is one of the toughest transitions for any manager. This career stage
requires a major shift in skills and perspective from the previous one – from “doing” the work
to also getting the work done through others. From an Organization context, this career stage
is very critical, as it is the feeder line to the subsequent career stages.
The managerial activities like defining and planning the work, effectively delegating work,
organizing resources, measuring and monitoring of performance, problem solving and
motivating teams to get the work done become imperative to success. Notably, the first time
managers also need to value this “managerial” work. The 3 essential focus areas for this
program would be: Self Management, Task Leadership and People Leadership.
