Overview:

This session is designed to support new managers who are balancing delivery expectations, people responsibilities, competing deadlines, and pressure from multiple stakeholders. Participants will learn how to prioritize work, distinguish urgent issues from strategic priorities, delegate with clarity, create team accountability, and manage difficult moments without becoming reactive. The session provides an accessible framework for moving from “doing all the work” to enabling a team to perform effectively.

Why you should Attend:
This session helps new managers focus on what matters most, develop their people-management approach, and handle pressure without becoming reactive, controlling, or overwhelmed.

Without clear priorities and people-management skills, new managers can quickly become the bottleneck-overworked, frustrated, and unable to give their team the clarity they need to perform.

• Setting clear priorities and team expectations
