New Manager Future Stars

Helping high potentials succeed in business management and leadership

Overview

Leadership development programmes are a core staple for most organisations. At Openside we believe the success of such programmes in enabling progression and the recruitment and retention of the best talent, depends very much on context. Our New Manager, Future Stars Programme addresses the unique behavioural and skill requirements of leadership in professional and business services. More importantly we aim to change the perception of leadership programmes only being offered as a reward for technical proficiency or long service. Leadership development should be seen as a career choice offered on merit, with a structured developmental pathway mapped out from day one, giving a clear sense of purpose and contribution towards future success. Organisations who spot and nurture talent for leadership early will be the most successful in recruitment, retention and development of purpose driven leaders.

Why New Manager Future Stars?

“Participants should attend to develop the core skills and personal insights to assess situations and make informed decisions, communicating these with confidence and authenticity. Listening and having the ability to coach, mentor, advise and persuade others are some of the hallmarks of great leadership that we address in the programme. It’s generally about representing the firm, being the face of the business and making the right choices in difficult situations and when dealing with ambiguity. It’s about creating the space and an environment that allows others to be their best in delivering outstanding results for clients, colleagues and the firm.”
