Only 16% of new managers successfully transition into their role. Current research shows that the success rate for new managers continues to decline.
The primary reason for this low success rate? Newly promoted managers are not adequately trained. Helen Wilkie, in "The Official Guide for the Manager's Journey says,
"Sadly, it's all too true that new managers rarely get the training they need right from the start. It seems employers think management skills are in their DNA. It's also true that those one-shot, one-day "training" programs rarely work. Managers need to learn about one aspect at a time, and have time to put that learning into practice before moving on to the next. Focusing on one subject still leaves them time and energy to do the job while learning the skills."
