About this course

What is Developing New Manager training?

Participants examine the shift from individual contributor to manager, then rehearse delegation, conflict discussions and performance reviews. Planning tools and ethical dilemmas connect daily management choices to team goals.

Performance goals, strategic execution and ethics exercises extend the manager toolkit beyond daily task allocation. Participants also plan how to sustain their own resilience and continue learning as people responsibilities grow.

People with the right skills create brighter organisations and a stronger Thailand.
