When promoting an employee to a management position for the first time, it is essential to have them go through a leadership management training. In order to make management training stick after the training there is one thing the manager of that employee needs to do.

The manager of the employee being promoted needs to have gone through the training himself, participate in the training with the employee, or receive an executive briefing by the trainer.

This is because the manager of the new employee being promoted to a leadership role will need to coach the employee after the training to make sure the skills learned are being applied. This will also create greater respect and trust between the employee and their manager.

In my last article and video I also covered three things to do before, during and after the training. Combining those approaches with this tip will ensure that the new manager will be successful learning and applying the skills to be a good leader and manager.
