Now that you’ve snagged your first management position, how are you going to live up to what everyone expects of you?

Because the sad truth is that 40% of new managers fail within the first 18 months of promoting them. Why? Because they don’t get the training they need to:

• Deal with people
• Manage other people’s work
• Mediate conflict
• Be good at project management
• Juggle deadlines
• Hire and fire
• Deal with HR issues
• Communicate goals and expectations clearly (leaving everyone floundering)

In other words, they get promoted because they were good at their job—good at the “doing”—not because they can actually manage people or projects and report to the higher-ups.

Sound like anyone you know?

That’s just a waste of time, talent, and money. It’s not good for the company—and it’s not good for the managers.

Do you see any rising stars within your company struggling under the strain of new responsibilities and unfamiliar situations?

Or maybe you are that rising star who has been caught off guard by the demands of your new role?

Now, there’s a place where first-time managers and supervisors can learn the kinds of things it usually takes managers years to learn—but you can get this high-end, professional training in only 2 days at Bud to Boss Training Camp.

Bud to Boss is a live, interactive, 2-day workshop, where smart, ambitious first-time managers come to get the professional foundation they need to:

• Get rid of their fear of conflict by learning ways to address it and neutralize it
• Influence and manage people—not just boss them around
• Mediate and negotiate
• Be a resource within the company for years to come
• Create valuable relationships

The skills that win the promotion—usually expert technical know-how, a good work ethic, and a good attitude—won’t prepare you for all the unexpected challenges managers face. If you haven’t managed people, dealt with heavy time management issues, administered company policy or had to deal with upper management directly before, then you have been left completely unprepared to succeed.

Bud to Boss goes beyond the nuts and bolts of your job. You already know that stuff, or else you wouldn’t have gotten the promotion. But what you do need to know are things like:

• How to influence, work, and negotiate with people
• How to engage, lead and develop a team
• How to manage your time and juggle an ever-changing list of priorities
• What to do when you are caught between the needs of your team and the company policies

The good news is that while management skills may not always come naturally, they can—and must—be developed. And that’s what Bud to Boss manager leadership training is all about—unlocking your manager (and leader) potential. And when you sign up today, you’ll be one step closer to tips, advice, and practical techniques you can use as soon as you return to the office.
