Top 6 Management Survival Skills for First-Time Supervisors

Getting promoted to a supervisory role is exciting . . . and scary. A promotion to leadership, supervision or management brings new responsibilities, new relationship dynamics, and new opportunities for personal and career growth. And often, new supervisors don’t get the training, support, and guidance they need to be successful.

Did you know that 40% of new managers fail within the first 18 months of promoting them? Why? Because they don’t get the training they need to deal with people, manage workloads, mediate conflict, juggle deadlines and much more. In other words, they got promoted because they were good at their job—not because they can actually lead people.

They’ve never led people, dealt with heavy time management issues, administered company policy or had to deal with upper management directly before. In other words, they’re completely unprepared.

The good news is first-time managers and supervisors can learn the kinds of things it usually takes managers years to learn. 

Join Guy Harris, co-author of Secrets to a Successful Transition to Remarkable Leadership, and co-developer of the Bud to Boss Workshop, for 60 minutes where you can learn:

  • How to manage relationships and expectations during the transition – up, down and across the organization
  • Tips for communicating clearly, effectively, and assertively
  • How to manage and resolve conflict – between team members and with other departments
  • Ways to overcome resistance to and truly drive change
  • How to coach on behaviors to improve results and increase performance
  • The steps to set achievable goals – for yourself and others
