THE TRANSITION
Managing people requires a different set of skills.
Being good at your job doesn't automatically prepare you to manage people.
Many people are promoted into management because they are technically competent, experienced or high-performing in their own roles.
Suddenly, you are expected to delegate rather than do everything yourself. You have to set expectations, manage performance, give feedback, motivate different people, resolve conflict, make decisions and sometimes manage colleagues who were previously your peers.
Without the right preparation, this transition can be difficult for both the new manager and the people they manage. Moving into Management is OML Africa's practical two-day development programme designed to equip new and emerging managers with the people management skills, tools and confidence they need to manage effectively and deliver results through others.
Why Take This Course?Why Take This Course?
Build the practical foundations of good management from the beginning.
New managers are often expected to learn management through experience. Unfortunately, mistakes made while learning to manage can affect employee performance, engagement, productivity and the wider team.
This programme helps participants build the practical foundations of good management from the beginning.
Participants don't simply learn management concepts. They work through realistic workplace situations, practise conversations and decisions managers face, and leave with practical tools they can immediately apply in their roles.
Who Should Attend?
Designed for new and emerging managers.
Moving into Management is designed for:
Employees preparing for their first management, supervisory or team leadership role
Newly appointed managers and supervisors
Team leaders with limited formal management training
Technical and professional employees who now coordinate or manage the work of others
Acting managers and project leads
High-potential employees being prepared for succession or future management responsibilities
What You Will Learn
Designed for new and emerging managers.
Eight practical modules. One clear progression.
Making the Transition into Management
Understand what changes when you become a manager, how your responsibilities shift and how to move from colleague or individual contributor to manager while maintaining credibility and professional relationships.
Communication & Managing people
Develop practical communication skills for giving instructions, setting expectations, listening, adapting to different people and building productive working relationships.
Managing Performance & Giving Feedback
Learn how to set performance expectations, monitor progress, give constructive feedback and address performance concerns before they become bigger problems.
Problem Solving, Decision Making & Manager Effectiveness
Strengthen practical management skills including problem solving, decision making, time management, meetings, reporting and managing competing priorities.
Managing work & Delegating effectively
Learn how to set priorities, organise work, allocate responsibilities, delegate effectively and create accountability without trying to do everything yourself.
Motivation, Coaching & Developing your team
Understand what influences employee performance and learn how managers can motivate, coach and support employees to improve.
Difficult Conversations, Conflict & Underperformance
Build confidence in handling difficult conversations, workplace conflict, challenging behaviour and underperformance fairly, professionally and appropriately.

Translate the learning into action by developing your own 30–60–90 Day Management Action Plan for application back in the workplace.
