• Only 18% of HR professionals surveyed believe that their organisation invests to a great extent in training and skilling people to take on their first leadership role.<\/li>\n
• 38% believe the first time leaders in their organisation are poorly supported in their roles.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Putting a great performer into a role leading or managing a bunch of former colleagues, without adequate training, development and support is a recipe for disaster.<\/p>\n

  Some will adapt and apply themselves successfully to the role, even without support through their own fortitude and focus, but many will flounder.<\/p>\n

  Actions to improve the level of investment and support in first time leaders will pay a handsome dividend in the form of improved success and reduced failure.<\/p>\n
