Beacon Leadership Academy for New Managers

New managers face a unique set of challenges as they transition from individual contributors to leadership roles. These challenges can be both exciting and daunting, as they require new skills and a different perspective. Beacon Leadership Academy will help New Managers deal with these common challenges:

Building Effective Relationships: As a new manager, it's essential to establish positive relationships with team members, peers, and superiors. Developing trust and respect is crucial, especially when transitioning from a colleague to a manager.
Managing Former Peers: One of the most significant challenges is managing individuals who were previously peers. This shift in dynamics can create tension, and it's essential to address it with sensitivity, open communication, and clarity about the new roles and expectations.
Delegating and Empowering: New managers often struggle with delegating tasks and empowering team members to take on more responsibility. Learning to trust others and balance delegation with oversight is key to fostering a productive and motivated team.
Effective Communication: Communication skills become even more critical as a manager. Being able to communicate expectations, provide feedback, and keep the team informed is essential for alignment and performance.
Time Management: The transition to management often comes with increased responsibilities. New managers must learn to prioritize tasks, manage their time effectively, and balance their own work with the needs of their team.
Conflict Resolution: Handling conflicts among team members or addressing performance issues can be challenging for new managers. Developing skills in conflict resolution and addressing problems constructively is essential for a healthy work environment.
Setting Clear Expectations: New managers must be able to set clear goals and expectations for their team. Ambiguity can lead to confusion and frustration among team members, so clarity in communication is crucial.
Learning the Business: Understanding the broader organizational context, company goals, and industry trends is essential for making informed decisions as a manager. New managers need to learn about the business and how their team's work fits into the larger picture.
Continuous Learning: Leadership skills require ongoing development. New managers must be open to learning from experience, seeking feedback, and continuously improving their leadership abilities.
Handling Pressure: Management roles often involve high-pressure situations, tight deadlines, and challenging decisions. New managers need to develop resilience and the ability to handle stress while keeping their team motivated.

By recognizing and addressing these challenges, new managers can develop the skills, confidence, and adaptability needed to become effective leaders, leading to their own growth and the success of their teams and organizations.

Beacon Leadership has developed an amazing learning journey for New Managers that combines on-demand training with one-on-one professional coaching. This unique combination will provide highly practical training with the power of an International Coaching Federation certified coach that will help you better understand the concepts and apply what you have learned to solve real challenges you are experiencing today.

SLII

The world’s most-taught leadership framework, SLII® teaches managers how to unleash the potential of their direct reports by leading situationally: giving the right support and direction at the right time. This leadership style enables employees to develop faster, succeed more, and reach their full potential. It also gives managers a common leadership language.

Building Trust

Trust in the workplace is a prerequisite for success, so when it’s missing, there’s little collaboration and a lot of suspicion. Building Trust teaches how to cultivate trust and repair it when it’s been compromised. Using the Elements of Trust Model, learners discover how to inspire engagement and commitment.

Adapting to Change

To confidently address the increasing pace of technological and societal change, it's critical everyone in your organization gains the skills they need to navigate change successfully.

MONTH 12

Objective: Communicate more effectively by conducting challenging conversations. You'll also learn to hear and value the unique contributions that each person brings to a team.

Conversational Capacity

Organizations move at the speed at which people communicate effectively and solve problems collaboratively. That can get tricky when the pressure is on or when people have different opinions. We teach people how to balance candor and curiosity to benefit from the most challenging conversations.

Courageous Inclusion

Achieving true diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the workplace isn’t easy. Many people want to make progress on DEI topics, but don’t have a plan or skills to carry it out. Courageous Inclusion™ teaches people a mindset that promotes diversity and inclusion, and a process to become more knowledgeable and active proponents of inclusion in their workplace.

Essential Motivators

When individuals better understand themselves, they can bring their best skills and talents to their work. Essential Motivators™ teaches a framework to help learners identify their pattern of core psychological needs, values, talents, and behaviors so they can better understand themselves and others, be more effective, and appreciate different perspectives.

Professional Coaching Session #12

MONTH 13

Objective: Flip the normal hierarchical model where leaders are at the top of a power pyramid and those below them serve their leader. You'll develop into a leader that sets a clear and compelling vision for where the organization is going but then flips the pyramid so that the leader serves their people to ensure they have what they need to serve their customers.

Servant Leadership Essentials

Servant leaders are consistently interested in providing what their people need to be successful. They want to make a difference in the lives of their people and, in the process, benefit the organization. We believe servant leadership is both a mindset and a skillset that focuses on serving others first. Blanchard’s Servant Leadership Essentials™ program teaches leaders how to build trust, listen, and give and receive feedback in ways that lead to higher levels of engagement, performance, and human satisfaction.

Professional Coaching Session #13

Leadership Point of View

Today’s leaders balance relationships and results under great pressure, making difficult decisions every day. When leaders are clear on their leadership values and principles, they can make tough trade-offs and lead their people with more intentionality and authenticity. Blanchard’s Leadership Point of View™ is an immersive experience that helps leaders uncover their values, write their leadership point of view, and create trusting relationships with their people.
