Introduction
Nurturing and Growing New and Existing Management Talent
Promotion into management is an exciting rite of passage for any new graduate.
But there are many pitfalls to avoid as one sharpens their skills in an all-round way. While the new manager has been recognized for the technical skills, self and other people management is a minefield.
They must learn how to lead others rather than do the work themselves, to motivate, manage their peers, earn trust and respect, and to strike the right balance between delegation and control. It is a transition many find challenging to make.
The New Management Development Programme (NMDP) is SGI-Tanzania’s entry-level leadership programme.
We will focus on improving the following capabilities: effective presentation and communication skills, team dynamics, planning and budgeting, the effective feedback process, problem-solving and conflict resolution, decision-making skills, different management styles.
