About this course

Overview and Outcomes.

Overview

The first ninety days in a management role set expectations that are hard to reset later. Drawing on Michael Watkins' transition framework, this module helps you diagnose the team you have inherited, name the change with former peers, avoid three common traps and build credibility before you have a track record. It ends with a simple thirty, sixty and ninety day structure you can adapt. When you become a manager, people form a view of you quickly, whether you intend it or not. This module helps you shape your management brand on purpose, treats imposter syndrome as a common experience rather than a personal failing, and redefines confidence as acting well despite doubt. A council case shows how one specific, visible change can shift a brand.

What you'll develop

In this Bitesize, you will develop the ability to:

  1. Diagnose whether the team you have inherited needs turning around, realigning or sustaining, and choose an early approach to match.
  2. Plan an honest conversation that names the change in your relationship with former peers.
  3. Apply a simple ninety day structure and recognise the three traps that most often derail a first year in management.
  4. Describe your current management brand in observable behaviours and choose one visible change to build the brand you want.
  5. Explain imposter syndrome and separate the feeling of being a fraud from the facts of your own performance.
