Help for Managers
There seems to be a lasting tendency, in the UK at least, to take your most skilful and productive operator in any field, and promote them to manage their department.
Without giving the new Manager help, without supplying training, coaching and mentoring in Management skills and techniques, there is likely to be a
high attrition rate. And this almost inevitably leads to a disillusioned and de-motivated ex-Manager being unable to return to their old job, or being
unable to be as effective at it as they were if they do return.
The small minority of Managers who thrive in this environment are the ones who had acquired their Management skills elsewhere, who were probably
'managing' themselves in the more 'hands-on' position, whatever their Manager liked to think, and who already knew that post was just a stepping stone on the
route to where they wanted to be.
The majority of new Managers need an ongoing programme of help which starts before they are ever approached about taking a Managerial position,
and which continues throughout the rest of their careers - All the way to and through Chief Executive and Chairman level.
