Unlock and Uncover, Pt1

Part 1 - New Manager Onboarding Pain Points & Opportunities

Onboarding doesn’t have to suck.

Yup, we said it.

Remember what it was like to start a new job? 

There may have been some jittery nerves, but there was also excitement! 

Excitement to meet new people, and possibly get a fun lunch. 
Excitement to start a new chapter, and maybe even change your go-to passwords. 
Excitement to fill out tons of forms, sign the employee handbook, and memorize an org chart. Wait no, that’s not right. When did onboarding become more about compliance and less about development and assimilation?

We’ve uncovered new manager pain points but how can we unlock the opportunities for a successful leader?

Instead of taking too much time away from the manager work you were hired to do with a firehose full of multi-day trainings, research has shown that daily, digestible learning:

• feels less intense, easier to pay attention,

• enriches engagement,

• increases the speed of development, and

• is easier to retain the learnings.

Why should we listen to Charlie Brown’s teacher’s (“Wah woh wah woh wah woh”) with boring information delivered in boring ways? You can learn interesting and applicable things like how to Lead in Context, Activate Your Team, and Nurture Key Relationships delivered digitally through interesting articles, videos, and engaging tools.

Without a manager map, you’re likely to get lost. And if being a new leader isn’t a one day journey, why is the training so short lived? What if you had a L.A.U.N.C.H path to guide you for your first 100 days?

Take your assimilation into your own hands to develop from New Manager to Successful Leader.
