manager?
If so, you need to know
about
The 7 Biggest Mistakes New
Managers Make and How to Avoid
Them
In my work coaching managers, I've found there
are certain mistakes they are all likely to
make early in their careers. No matter what
industry or profession they are in, they
somehow manage to find their own versions of
these same mistakes! These blunders can set you
back as you take your first steps on this
exciting new phase of your career, and I don't
want that to happen to you.
To help you avoid these mistakes, I've recorded
a special 45-minute audio program explaining
what they are, why people make them, and - most
important of all - how you can avoid them.
And the good news
is that you can get immediate access to this
recording for just
U.S.$1! That's right, pay
just U.S.$1, and I'll immediately send you an
e-mail containing a link to this highly
practical 45-minute recorded message. You can
listen online, or download and listen on your
IPod at your convenience.
And there's
more! When you claim this
recording and learn how to avoid these mistakes
as you begin your management career, you'll
also get completely free
access to the entire first stage
of The Manager's
Journey, my exciting in-depth
program for new managers who are taking their
careers seriously. Read below for details of

The Manager's Journey
|
The
Schedule
The Manager's
Journey is a 12-month
grand adventure that will take you from nervous
rookie manager to confident professional. It's
divided into 12 monthly Stages, each focusing
on a subject you must master if you're to be a
successful manager.
Each stage begins
with an audio session on the subject for the
month. Here's what you get for each
stage:
 |
An
MP3 recording of an audio session I
originally conducted as a live
teleseminar for corporate clients.
You can listen right away online
or, if you prefer, you can download
the MP3 and load it into your IPod
for listening at your convenience.
Listen as often as you want, so you
won't miss a single one of the
important, practical ideas you can
use right away in your
job. |
 |
A
transcript of the entire session so
that you can read as well as
listen. Use this to supplement your
listening and highlight the points
you want to remember. |
 |
A
self-assessment to help you
understand where your skills stand
for each Stage subject (there's no
self-assessment for Stage 1). I
recommend you take the
self-assessment both at the
beginning and end of each Stage,
which will help you not only gauge
your progress but also highlight
areas you still need to work
on. |
 |
Once
a week for the four weeks of each
Stage, you get an e-mail with a
link to an article I've written on
the Stage subject. These articles
are short and punchy, giving you
insights into specific aspects of
the topic, and extra action ideas
for you to try. |
This schedule
gives you enough time to listen and absorb the
material, have it reinforced throughout the
Stage and - most important - put it
into practice in your job. You also have access
to me through a special e-mail address for
Travelers on The
Manager's Journey, so you can
ask and get answers to your questions about
your personal managerial issues and
challenges.

The Itinerary
Before setting
off on any journey, you want to know where
you'll go and what you'll see, right? So here's
where we'll travel together on
The
Manager's
Journey:
- Stage
One -
The
Manager's Mindset:
what
it is, why it's different and why it's
essential that you have it.
- Stage
Two -
Organizing your
time and your space, and how the
two are connected. Even though you've
managed your time in the past, you have to
do it differently now that you're a
manager.
- Stage Three
- The dynamic
duo: delegation and empowerment.
As a manager, you must learn the art of
delegation or you will simply burn out
because you are trying to do everything
yourself. By delegating wisely, you'll also
be developing empowered team players
-
-it's a
win/win.
- Stage
Four -
Emotional
Intelligence for managers. This is
one of the most important Stages, as it
helps you stay in control when everything
threatens to spiral into chaos. Fascinating
information leading to invaluable skills
for management - and for
life.
- Stage
Five -
Meeting skills
for managers. The time spent in
meetings is a source of frustration to
people at all levels in the workplace. In
this Stage you'll learn not only to conduct
your own meetings effectively and
successfully, but also how to make the most
of the time you must spend attending other
people's meetings.
- Stage
Six -
Managing a
diverse group of people. Today's
workforce is diverse in many ways: people
of all age groups, male and female and from
many cultural backgrounds. It can be a
juggling act to manage all the
sensibilities, and that's what you'll learn
from this Stage.
- Stage
Seven -
Presentation
skills for managers. Like
meetings, presentations are the cause of a
great deal of anxiety as well as time
consumption. This highly practical Stage
will help you develop your skills, and
learn to treat every presentation as an
opportunity to shine.
- Stage
Eight -
Project
management skills. The audio
session for this Stage features a guest
expert with many years of experience in
managing projects large and small. As a
manager, you'll find your life can be a
series of projects, so you need to have the
knowledge and systems to manage
them.
- Stage
Nine -
Language
skills that will help you manage
projects and lead people. Leading people
involves a great deal of personal
interaction, and the way you communicate
with them has a huge effect on your success
or failure in this vital area. This Stage
will give you many insights and techniques
for using language to become the manager
and leader you want to be.
- Stage
Ten -
Coaching skills
and managing difficult people.
Great managers know how to coach their
people to get the best out of them. Some
people are just downright difficult, but we
have to work with them. This Stage will
focus on the skills you'll need to deal
with both challenges.
- Stage
Eleven -
Performance
reviews: successfully negotiate
your own review and conduct effective
reviews for your people.
- Stage
Twelve -
Managing your
career: steps to take now and into
the future to make your management career a
long and illustrious one.

Why travel The Manager's
Journey?
Becoming a manager for the first time can be
downright scary! You want to prove yourself
worthy of the promotion, but keeping everything
flowing smoothly can be a challenge, to say the
least.
*
Suddenly, you have people reporting to you,
sometimes people who were formerly peers;
establishing a new relationship is tricky, but
you must get it right if you're to be
successful.
* Projects and
processes you were only dimly aware of before
now become part of your responsibilities.
* And when
things don't go well, you are the one
responsible. You are the one who has to make
sure the work is done with the resources you
have.
Even if you're lucky enough to get some
training, it's usually based on the actual
work, projects and processes of your
department. That's great as far as it goes, but
what about those universal skills of
management, those insights, skills and
techniques that keep your department
functioning smoothly and well? How do you learn
those?
Well, that's what The Manager's
Journey is all about. It's
structured the way it is to allow you to fully
absorb the material in each monthly stage and
put it into practice on the job before moving
on to the next subject. You simply can't expect
to learn all this in a few days, or even weeks.
Being appointed a manager is an event, but
becoming a manager is a journey. When you look
back after this twelve-month journey, you'll be
amazed and delighted at the progress you've
made from rookie manager to competent,
confident professional.

Ticket price
You must be wondering by now how much it will
cost you to travel The Manager's
Journey. Well I'm happy to tell
you I have worked very hard to make it
affordable and accessible to everyone. Some
Travelers will persuade their employers to
invest in them, but I do understand that many
others will have to buy their own ticket. So
I've kept the price low for you.
For each complete monthly stage, you'll pay
just U.S.$27. This
low price buys your ticket to all the materials
I mentioned above:
*The
self-assessment
*The MP3 audio program
*The Handout to help you follow along
*The transcript for later reading
*The four weekly
articles
That's a whole lot of education for such a
low cost! And it's all practical help for you,
based on real-life experience in the world of
management. I think you'll agree it's a small
investment with a huge potential return for
your future career.
All you have to do is hit the button below and
order your copy of The 7 Biggest Mistakes New
Managers Make and How to Avoid
Them and you'll

The Manager's
Journey at no extra cost.
If you decide for any reason that it's not for
you, just let me know by e-mail any time before
Day 25, and I'll immediately cancel your ticket
with no questions asked. But if you do see the
value of this information and decide to remain
a Traveler on The Manager's Journey --- and I'm
pretty sure you will --- just do nothing, and
I'll charge the U.S.$27 to your credit card at
the beginning of each of the remaining 11
monthly Stages. And
remember, you get the complete Stage 1 at no
cost at all!
