New managers bring fresh perspectives but often lack the experience to lead teams to success. It's like building a sandcastle without a bucket and shovel! Struggling to equip them with the right skills can cause sleepless nights.

Struggling to help your newly promoted manager thrive in their leadership role? Is your high performer faltering as they take on the challenges of managing a team? Perhaps you yourself are anticipating a transition into management.
