Data on leadership skills for new managers is abundant; insight about it is not. People decide what new managers really means by watching who gets promoted. Participants who influence the people management and development capability without directly controlling it will find the content directly usable. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a people policy for leadership skills for new managers as they go. Participants gain a clear basis for measuring what this area of people management and development has actually achieved. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place new managers among the areas with the widest performance spread. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting leadership skills for new managers and under-invest in testing it. The programme converts new managers from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. Work concludes with a self-assessment of the people management and development capability that participants can repeat annually.
