• Our First Time Manager seminar promotes your ability to reflect so that you shine in all leadership situations with sensitivity and knowledge of human nature.

In the First Time Manager seminar, after an introduction by the seminar leader, training impulses are first set in short units - parallel to the current workload. Then you put what you have learned directly into practice in group work. Finally, the trainer can answer open questions. There is also enough time for discussion and feedback in the group.

Our First Time Manager seminar addresses future team or department managers who would like to exercise their new managerial position optimally and situationally. You will gain insights into various leadership tools and styles so that you can lead a team or an entire department in the future.

Your personal leadership behaviour can be enhanced by a few easy-to-implement tips. Take them to heart and develop your leadership potential:

1. Always give constructive feedback and maintain a personal distance from your counterpart. Respect and appreciation are half the battle.
2. Keep the company's goals in mind and the needs of your employees in mind at all times.
3. Conflict management is an essential part of any leadership style. Your task as a supervisor is to remain neutral.

The choice of the supposedly right leadership styles is usually not easy. It is best to have adequate leadership tools ready for the following challenges:

• Trust in the abilities of your employees and show that you can also let go once in a while and do not always have to control the work of the others.
• Hold regular meetings in the team so that not only the transfer of knowledge in the working group is made possible, but there is also time for small talk.
• Practise rhetoric and communication. Send positive signals to the whole team, but give criticism in private.
