The New Manager's
Coaching Guide
Brad is a new manager who just started
supervising the five people who used to be his
coworkers.
While this is typically a
tough transition, Brad's situation is more difficult
than usual because upper management is not happy with
his group's performance.
Since Brad is expected to
turn things around, he now has to decide what approach
to take.
No one is born knowing how to effectively
manage the performance of other people, so new managers
often make the mistake of becoming either an autocratic
dictator or a complete wimp.
In fact, performance
management skills must be learned through training and
practice – and they are probably the most important

How can I criticize my new company?
Q: Since joining this company a few weeks ago, I have
noticed a lot of areas that need improvement.
However, I'm not sure how honest I should be in
sharing my views with management.
In my previous job, I was always very open about my
opinions. If
I saw a problem, I simply described it to my boss and
proposed a solution, but I'm not sure this would be
welcomed in my new organization.
What do you think?
