As startups grow, you may have moved quickly into a leadership role where you’re managing teams, and sometimes even managing managers for the first time. As a new manager there’s a lot to know, so why not speed up your learning curve? Reverb has created this manager boot-camp to provide practical tips and hands-on experience helping you build foundational skills and improve team engagement, even in hybrid environments.

First time or new managers working in any industry, managers who want a refresh on good management fundamentals, and anyone preparing to transition into management for the first time.

• Identify where your team members are in the learning curve, so you can provide the right amount of direction and support.
• Leverage best practices for setting people up for success.
• Engage in proactive coaching conversations to ensure success and follow up to reinforce success and/or course correct quickly and constructively.
• Improve your ability to manage in hybrid environments.
• Navigate the challenges of being promoted over peers, and how to effectively manage teams you used to be part of.

"I am so glad I participated in the workshop! The conversations we had around delegation were especially useful to me and I have found myself using those principles less than a week later! I recommend taking this class to brush up on management tools and to meet some great innovators from the area!" - Heather at PlutoVR
