New Manager Training

Too often, new managers are left to sink or swim without the support they need to thrive. They lack the mindset and skills to lead with courage, authenticity, and impact. That’s where transformative new manager skills come in. At Fierce Inc., we know that transitioning from individual contributor to manager is one of the most demanding career shifts.

Don’t let your new managers stumble through trial and error. Give them the foundation they need to lead with confidence and resilience. Invest in their development, and watch them become the fierce leaders your organization needs to thrive in any challenge.

Program Overview

Through our proven, research-backed program, your new managers will learn to:

  • Embrace a leadership mindset focused on empowering their teams and driving results
  • Master the art of coaching, delegation, and giving impactful feedback
  • Confront challenges head-on with courage and vulnerability
  • Foster a culture of inclusion, curiosity, and continuous growth
  • Communicate with authenticity to build trust and psychological safety

Our leadership training for new managers is about something other than checking boxes or memorizing scripts. It’s about having fierce conversations that get to the heart of what matters. When your managers communicate courageously, they can transform their teams, your culture, and your bottom line.

Flexible New Manager Training, Programs, and Courses

We understand that stepping into a management role for the first time can be daunting. New managers face many challenges as they shift from individual contributors to leading and inspiring a team. They need to develop new skills, adopt a leadership mindset, and navigate complex interpersonal dynamics—all while delivering results for the organization.

From immersive on-site training to flexible virtual sessions and individual coaching, our frontline and new manager training programs are designed to catalyze transformative growth in a way that works for your rising leaders.

In-Person Training

Ignite the fierce leadership potential in your new managers with our immersive, on-site training. In a focused learning environment, our skilled facilitators guide participants through transformative experiences and practical skill-building.

Virtual Sessions

Our engaging virtual training empowers your new managers to lead fearlessly from anywhere. Delivered with the same rigor and interactivity as our in-person sessions, these online workshops offer the flexibility to fit learning into busy schedules.

New managers collaborate, practice, and receive real-time coaching using cutting-edge digital tools to master the essentials of fierce leadership.

One-On-One Coaching

How We Train Frontline Managers and New Leaders

Our Five-Step Process

We have developed a powerful five-step process to train new managers, from initial assessment to ongoing reinforcement, designed to maximize the impact and sustainability of your training investment.

Assess

Our comprehensive consultation process sets the stage for transformative growth. We gain deep insights into your unique needs and culture through data collection, benchmark surveys, and DISC assessments. From there, we craft a customized Fierce program plan that aligns with your strategic objectives and sets your new managers up for success.

Excite

Generating enthusiasm and buy-in is critical to the success of any new manager development initiative. That’s why we work with you to develop a compelling company-wide communication strategy, deliver engaging introductory presentations, and conduct energizing pilot sessions that give your emerging leaders a taste of the Fierce approach.

Educate

The workshop is where the true business impact begins. Our expert facilitators leverage a strategic mix of learning modalities, from instructor-led sessions to on-demand courses, role-playing exercises, and case study discussions. This multi-faceted approach ensures that your new managers learn and apply essential leadership skills in real-world scenarios.

Engage

At Fierce, our priority is empowering you with sustained talent development. Our expert facilitators will continue to keep your new managers engaged and accountable, arming them with workshop journals, conversation starters, accountability partner pairings, and feedback loops. This ensures that your team retains what they learn and begins taking action.

Reinforce

Continued new manager development is essential to long-term success. Our reinforcement phase includes on-demand learning solutions as well as: cohort celebrations to recognize progress, mentoring sessions with experienced managers, refresher workshops to deepen skill mastery, and peer support forums to ensure alignment.

Managing Challenges For New Managers

New managers want to prove their worth, demonstrating they have the ability to meet or exceed expectations. Their stance makes them unwilling or unable to delegate and develop their team members. They likely have a to-do list filled with tasks they enjoy, tasks they dislike, and tasks they simply think no one else can possibly manage. New managers need guidance to focus on the tasks which are central to achieving their goals and supporting their team, giving them the incentive to delegate and develop their team members so everyone can be more productive. Organizations benefit from Fierce New Manager training when new leaders learn everyone is better served by delegating for the development of others in the organization.

New managers also need to understand how their investment in their team members helps them to empower one another. At Fierce, we teach new managers about accountability, check-ins for progress, intentionality, skill development, and more. New managers need to become leaders by freeing up their time, maximizing their results, and developing their people for individual and organizational success. It is in the development of strong, emerging leaders that organizations are productive and succeed.
