The new manager

Get off to a good start
The new manager Programme creates a unique foundation for those who are relatively new managers, or those who have not participated in management programmes before. You get a solid foundation to develop yourself, your employees and your results.

Good leadership is the most sound approach to good results. Management is the ability to achieve results through and with others. It is your way to exercise leadership on the fundamental assumption that your team can manage its activities and achieve their goals.

A good leader is able to strike a balance between focusing on individual developments and business developments.

The New Manager is part of the CfL Leadership.

This holistic approach is integrated into The New Management Programme in a unique process where you get:

• A new and profound perspective on the management role
• A deeper insight into your own talents and challenges as a Manager
• Training in fundamental management competencies, starting with your everyday challenges
• Knowledge, skills and attitude to exercise good leadership
• A developing network with other managers in the same position and situation as yourself
