Top 10 skills for new managers

Research suggests the 10 most cited skills for successful managers are:

1: Develop Self -Awareness

2: Communicate Verbally

3: Set goals and articulate a vision

4: Manage individual decisions

5: Motivate and influence others

6: Build teams

7: Define and solve problems

8: Delegate

9: Manage time and stress

10: Manage conflict.

Managers today are expected to have master level skills in all the above areas. If you are promoting from within, what do you as an employer do to ensure that your new managers are trained to succeed, rather than set up to fail? Time spent on on-boarding and training of new managers will show a ROI that would far exceed the cost of a new hire should it all go horribly wrong. The damage to team moral alone would be enough to make HR weep. So before you promote, ensure you have put in place a robust training program for your new star performer, then sit back and watch them shine. Do this for every promotion as habit makes excellence, and after all that's what we are all striving for.
