How can New Managers Online help you?

As a new manager, you need a place to get instant advice, support and ways of learning your new role. Here you have 'just-in-time' and 'just enough' ideas for you to learn your new role in a hurry.

Some comments about the site:

"I can't thank you enough. This information is priceless."

"I worked through the activity on the conflict page, and I can see what I need to do next. Thanks so much."

"Your ideas are simple and easy to follow. I will draw up a plan and follow it."

"I liked it. I sent the link to my sons who are new managers."

"Nice looking site with lots of helpful info and useful learning activities. Great work. Thanks for your help, it makes such a difference "

"This advice and learning approach is awesome! I'm on the right track at last."

You know how you learn best, and this is a good starting place. My aim is to help you to learn quickly, and to trust your own judgment. I want to demystify the ideas of "Management" as something very special that you can only learn from specialists, and to bring it into the world of common sense.

After working with managers for more than twenty years, I can see that there are two main questions for managers:

"What do we want to happen?" and "What is an effective way to make that happen?"

There's a third question of course: "How will we recognise that it's working?"

Answering those questions involves skills (being able to do things), knowledge (knowing about things): and understanding (being able to make sense of things). Newmanagersonline.net is designed to give you a place to come to find clear brief ideas on these, that you can take in easily and put into practice at once. In this way you can get the basics quickly, and build up your know-how and confidence for yourself.
