Coaching and Mentoring Are Key for First-Time Managers When individual contributors or professionals are promoted into their first formal leadership positions, many don’t expect the transition to be as difficult as it is. Worse, they often lack the support and development needed to help make that transition successfully. Without support, new managers can suffer — along with their teams and direct reports. By extension, this affects the organization’s retention levels and leadership pipeline, which ultimately can negatively impact the bottom line. Given the important role that first-time managers play in talent development and succession management, organizations should help ease their transition by providing them with access to leadership development — especially courses targeted to the needs of new mangers — and by exploring formal organizational mentoring programs to support them.
