Newly promoted managers face long odds for success. In fact, most of them fail. The sad truth of the matter is the failure rates for newly promoted managers can be attributed more to organizational failures than to the failures or shortcomings of the managers themselves. So, what can we do as HR and learning professionals to change the odds of success? In this program, Chris Osborn of BizLibrary will discuss effective strategies to tilt the odds towards success. After all, we promote people because we see them having the potential to succeed in their next role. So let's figure out effective ways to facilitate that success with changes in our approach to learning and development, support, and socialization. www.bizlibrary.com

psychological adjustment — A TRANSFORMATION — as managers contend
with their new responsibilities.
New managers must learn how to lead others, to
win trust and respect, to motivate, and to strike
the right balance between delegation and
control. It is a transition many new managers
fail to make.
