Course overview
What Are Leadership Skills for New Managers?
Leadership skills for new managers are the habits that let a former individual contributor succeed through the work of a team. The course develops a flexible leadership style, composure under pressure, command of time and priorities, decisions, planning and delegation, coaching one-to-ones, aligned goals, two-way feedback, ways to handle weak performance and disagreement, and motivation.
Interactive workshops, practical exercises and real-world case studies give participants practice at one-to-ones, coaching feedback and difficult conversations, set in situations that new managers in Liechtenstein encounter.
Designed for people moving from individual contributor to team leader in Liechtenstein, the course helps new managers inspire and empower their teams, build a culture of accountability and lead with clarity from their first weeks in the role.
Why it matters
Why New Manager Skills Matter in Liechtenstein
Many new managers in Liechtenstein reach the role as accomplished individual contributors. Learning early to coach, give feedback and hold people accountable helps them and their teams settle into the change.
Promotion is not preparation
Excellent specialists are regularly promoted without ever being shown how to manage a team.
Managers shape the day
The manager sets much of the tone for how focused and committed a team feels.
Small problems grow
Problems that go unmentioned turn into slipped targets and people leaving.
Pipelines need managers
Well-equipped first-line managers make organisations in Liechtenstein stronger.
The Knowles leadership approach
From Insight to Impact
Participants learn the cycle a dependable manager works through each week, from agreeing what must be delivered to reviewing what the team achieved, so they have a routine to follow while confidence grows.
The manager’s routine
- 1. PlanWhat must we deliver?
- 2. AssignWho does what?
- 3. Check-inHow is it going?
- 4. FeedbackWhat should change?
- 5. SupportWhat do they need?
- 6. ReviewWhat did we achieve?
