INTRODUCING THE NEW TO MANAGEMENT PROGRAMME – ABOUT THE PROGRAMME
![](https://learnabytes.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/slide1.png?w=1024)
The New to Management programme is a development programme I am currently designing and developing for new managers and those managing for the first time. The goal of the programme is to give new managers and those new to managers some foundational skills for growing into their roles.
I introduced the programme in a previous post here and in this post and future ones, I want to describe the contents of the programme. The programme has six modules in addition to an introductory module which I have titled – Module 0. The programme also has a simple structure with just two elements:
- Virtual training modules
- Works tasks/homework in between the modules.
The image below illustrates the structure.

Module 0 which really is the first module, though it’s not included in the image above is titled – ABOUT THE PROGRAMME.
The objectives module 0 are:
- Describe the structure and content of the New to Management programme.
- Explain what is required to prepare for the first module.
The session starts out introducing those objectives to the participants and then moves on to ask them two questions which are:
- Why are you attending this programme?
- What do you want to be able to do by the end of this programme?
The participants will be given the opportunity to reflect on these questions and write their answers in the chat window.
It is an opportunity for them to think about what they really want from the programme.
After that, we then move on to start talking about the content of the session. There is a summary slide which shows the six modules that make up the programme. Here it is.

As you can see from the slide, the programme has six modules which are:
- Role of the manager
- Managing performance
- Crucial conversations
- Team building
- Developing people
- Managing yourself
At this stage, the participants will be introduced to each module briefly and also put into groups to look at more detailed information about each module in their workbooks and discuss their thoughts about it.
In the next series of posts, I will share with you what each of the six modules covers.
