New Manager Role Shifting? Try Four Dimensional Management
A.PLUS received the inquiry from a leading medical equipment enterprise, they expected to conduct management training for the managers and core employees for one-day while participating the industry annual conference in Fuzhou. The client didn’t count on solving all the problems in one day, before studying the specific management skills, the client hoped to that the new managers could realize the importance of shifting roles from experienced employees to new managers, which laid the foundation for future growth to excellent mangers.
The enterprise has founded for more than a decade, it has already established national sales and service network. With the growth of business, it has promoted front-line employees with rich experience as managers, some of them even become regional/functional manager. However, without systematical training and guidance, new managers have encountered obstacles in practical work, such as:
1. New managers were happy yet perplexed, they didn’t know the difference what would be different after becoming a manager.
2. Technical talents and sales elites still liked to execute by themselves and enjoyed personal achievement after becoming managers.
3. New managers thought that they could command substitutes, but they could not drive them especially for post 90s substitutes.
4. The previous colleagues became substitutes and they were further; or they could not dare to point out problems due to relationship
