New manager training for a successful and smooth transition

Managerial transition

Do you have new managers joining your organization or who have recently been promoted? As you probably know, there is a transition period to allow them to develop the new reflexes that are essential to perform in their new role. By focusing on good practices from the start and building relationships based on trust, there is a good chance that your new managers will be committed to the success of both their teams and your organization!

Help your new managers

Why support new managers?

It is not enough to grant a promotion and hope that the new manager will come out on top without a little help! By placing themselves in a position of authority over their former colleagues, or by arriving in a team that is already well established, the new manager risks experiencing difficult and sometimes delicate situations.

 

In order to make this transition a success and ensure that the team embarks on this new adventure, we offer tips and tricks, food for thought, and action to support new managers in their new role!

Oxfam-Québec wanted to provide its managers with practical tools to help them acquire the skills they needed to master in this new remote management context. The virtual intelligence course appeared to us as a more complete and flexible alternative to a one-day training course.

The videos, interactive questionnaires, and concrete tools offered online allow for immediate application of what has been learned within the work teams, and managers are able to see positive changes immediately. The process is a great opportunity to bring managers together around unifying objectives and helps develop interactions between managers from different departments and promotes cohesion.

Frequently asked questions

We have answers!

What are the most common challenges for a new manager?

Here are a few we see regularly within teams:

✔ Moving from peer to manager without awkwardness.
✔ Finding your leadership stance without falling into control or avoidance.
✔ Handling difficult conversations without clear reference points.
✔ Feeling legitimate in a new role… while staying true to yourself.

The good news? These challenges are completely normal. And with the right tools and the right support, they become much easier to navigate. That’s exactly what this new manager training is designed for.

How can I support a new manager in finding their leadership style without losing authenticity?

Transitioning into a management role often raises one big question: how do I take my place without becoming someone I’m not?

At Boostalab, we believe great leadership doesn’t come from a formula, it’s built with intention. That’s why our new manager training gives participants space to step back, reflect on their natural leadership style, and approach their new role in a way that feels genuine.

The goal isn’t to fit a mould, it’s to help each person build a solid foundation rooted in their strengths and values. Because authenticity builds trust… and that’s what people want to follow.

What if a new manager doesn’t feel legitimate in their role?

Feeling like an imposter is incredibly common, especially in the first few weeks. You might wonder: am I really cut out for this? Can I truly lead the people who were recently my peers?

This training helps reframe that uncertainty. We work through:

✔ Clarifying roles and responsibilities.
✔ Identifying personal strengths to build confidence.
✔ Aligning leadership style with one’s values.

The result? Less self-doubt, more clarity, and a manager who takes their place with confidence.

We have several new managers starting, can we train them all at once?

Yes, and it’s actually a great opportunity to foster a sense of community.

Training multiple new managers together helps:

✔ Build a strong sense of peer connection.
✔ Normalize shared challenges and reduce isolation.
✔ Create shared language and habits that strengthen team culture.

It’s a great way to give everyone a strong, aligned start, individually and collectively.
