New Manager Development Program

Assumptions about this program

• If you are a new promoted manager or you are coordinating a new manager, taking the lead of a new team is a serious challenge.
• Designed to acquire better results and more effectiveness even during the transition period and to manage and rapidly overcome it.
• Based on the well known model, established by Bruce Tuckman, of group development stages (forming, storming, norming, performing), the period between forming to performing is a rough time both for the organization and the new manager.
• Using this program you will skip the steps and go forward directly to  performing and you will gain more easily results that otherwise you will achieve in months.

Steps of the program

Step 1 : Assessment - Completing the Hogan suite (online)

• HPI - Hogan Personality Inventory (15 min)
• HDS - Hogan Development Survey (15 min)
• MVPI - Motives, Values, Preferences Inventory (15 min)

Step 2 : Reports Generation
a) For the manager

• Leadership Potential Report - Based on HPI results; highlights day-to-day leadership behaviors and suggest actionable development recommendations
• Leadership Challenge Report - Based on HDS results; highlights potential derailing tendencies and recommendations for development
• Leadership Values Report - Based one MVPI results; highlights core values  related to leadership

b) Team Report

Five sections, showing how each team member's characteristics affect team performance:

• Team Roles
• Team Derailers
• Team Culture
• Individual Profiles
• Individual Perspectives

Team Report: Team Roles

The Hogan Team Report identifies five psychological roles to which team members naturally gravitate and are necessary for a highly functioning team:

• Results
• Relationships
• Process
• Innovation
• Pragmatism

Team Report: Team Derailers

• This section identifies each individual's potential derailers, or characteristics that can impede performance when under pressure or become exposed due to personality differences.
• If a majority of team members show the same tendencies, the behavior will amplify, undermining the team's performance.

Team Report: Team Culture

• The report includes an analysis of the team culture, such as the individual values and drivers that guide self-focus and priorities.
• When team members share the same values, the team can bond more easily and become more united in achieving goals.

Team Report: Individual Profiles and Perspectives

• The Individual Profiles and Individual Perspectives sections provide a detailed view of the similarity of each person compared to the rest of the group.
• The Individual Profiles use a summary graphic to compare individuals on a scale level, noting differences in behavior, derailers, and values.

Step 3 : Feedback

Individual Feedback for the manager:

• Review individually key leadership competencies with high impact on participant effectiveness during the 1:1 feedback session.
• Providing strategic self-awareness on strengths and areas for development with respect to those key leadership competencies.
• Discuss about individual core values and personal drivers that can support development and personal growth.

Presenting the team report to the manager:

• Reviewing the distribution of roles inside the team.
• Understanding the individual differences among team members.
• Identifying the main areas of development of the team.
• Recognizing the team culture with respect to manager’s values.
• Discussing the potential areas of conflicts and divergence and establish strategies to avoid them.
• Developing an action plan in order to increase the efficiency.

Step 4: Team Workshop (Optional)

The results of the team report could be used in facilitating a team workshop so that all team members take advantage of strategic self-awareness, team effectiveness and alignment.

Structure of team workshop:

• Discuss common business objectives of the team, the desired culture and the needed competencies to accomplish those objectives (exercise).
• Facilitate strategic team- awareness about common values, strengths and/or derailers (interactive team report presentation and exercises).
• Discuss the team’s assessment results (strengths, barriers and opportunities)  in relation to the team’s strategic goals  & challenges for the future (next 6-12 months).
• Encourage team dialogue and interpersonal awareness (feedback game).
• Facilitate creation of team action plan (exercise).

Step 5 (Optional): Coaching Sessions
