Although perhaps not in so many words, that is the essence of what new managers hear when they learn of their promotion. Organizations typically don't provide new managers with a lot of support. While promotions to highly skilled technical positions usually include additional training, mentoring, or some clear way to learn new skills, management and leadership skills are somehow seen as something someone either has, or doesn’t have - or is responsible for acquiring on his or her own initiative.

Learning management skills on the job damages the fledgling manager as well as his or her team. The highly political world of management is not easily navigated even by the skilled; the neophyte's uncertainty and tentative actions often result in loss of credibility and may lead to his or her team's being given less desirable projects with more aggressive deadlines.

Just like new parents who swear they won't repeat their parents' mistakes, new managers are fired with determination to avoid the things they disliked about their managers. However, that excitement and determination is often offset by confusion; there are so many unfamiliar things to deal with (vacation requests, budgets, performance issues, conflicts, strategic planning)! Where can the new manager turn for help?

Unless you have an exceptional boss, it's usually not wise to request support from a supervisor. Since this is probably the person who approved your promotion, asking for leadership or team-building training may raise questions about your fitness for the position.

Likewise, unless you have absolute trust in the integrity of your fellow managers and absolute certainty that they will hold your questions in strictest confidence, it's unwise to ask your peers for help. To be blunt, when push comes to shove in the corporate world, it seldom matters how ethical someone is or how close a friend s/he might be: people almost always protect themselves first in any job-threatening situation.

So what is a new manager to do? Here are some tips that may help.

1. Join the leading professional organization in your field. If your membership dues aren't covered by your employer (and they could well be), they may be tax deductible; ask your tax advisor. Explore all options offered for leadership and management training. These organizations also often have mentoring programs for their members.


2. Learn company procedures. Thoroughly ground yourself in any personnel or management procedures you are expected t
   E-Procurement
   E-Procurement is the process of purchasing goods electronically. The various stages of electronic procurement include identifying vendors or suppliers, placing orders and the arrival of goods. E-procurement helps to improve the efficiency of the purchase process and decreases the cost involved in traditional purchasing. Most of the paper work is eliminated, thereby cutting the cost and time required reaping benefits often to the tune of millions of dollars.Studies indicate that a firm can enjoy returns that may measure up to 300% of the initial

      Merit Pay for Teachers Should Be Part of the Educational Reform
      Education has always been one of the most important aspects of the life of every single man. High-quality education is the guarantee of self-realization and prosperity in life in any country nowadays. Therefore the educational system has now faced a great problem of the necessity of its reformation. The premise for this reformation lies in the perspective of making the educational process maximally effective. As the teachers represent the group of people who deliver the knowledge to the students or in other words educate people, their work has to be a

         Beware: Groupthink!
         On January 28, 1986, the space shuttle Challenger blasted off from the Kennedy Space Centre in Florida. Seventy-three seconds later, millions of people watched as the rocket disintegrated in a fiery explosion, and the capsule plunged into the Atlantic Ocean. The death of all seven crew members, and particularly teacher Christa McAuliffe, shocked the world. As we learned in the months that followed, the tragedy could and should have been avoided. The root cause of the disaster was something known as Groupthink.Groupthink did not exist before 19

            How Not To Lose Your Job After A Heated Argument With Your Boss
            Working in an office can be a trying experience. There is bound to be incidents that you wish you could take back. Frustration and resentment build up until the point of heated arguments between management and employee.Every employee want to be acknowledged by their superiors, however, there are times when management is of one mindset. When this occurs too many times, the results can be disastrous, especially if the employee has a short temper. Often, situations that would normally be discussed get out of control and end up with harsh words bei
            Here are some tips that may help.

            2. Learn company procedures. Thoroughly ground yourself in any personnel or management procedures you are expected to follow by talking with your boss and/or someone in your HR department. This isn't what I advised against earlier in this article; this is making sure that you understand all the policies and procedures for which you're now responsible. Clearing away confusion and potential surprises will go a long way to making you more confident in your new position.
            
            
            3. Investigate mentoring programs. Many organizations, especially larger corporations, have formal mentoring programs. Find out whether this is available and take advantage of it - but be careful not to violate corporate culture and political rules of the road (which are different in every company).
            
            
            4. Ask for advice. If you have a friend or relative who is or has been a successful manager, ask for help! He or she will be flattered and happy to offer advice and counsel.
            
            
            5. Enroll in a class. Your local adult education program or community college may offer leadership and management classes; community colleges often have extended studies or community outreach programs specifically designed for full-time employees seeking to develop their business and leadership skills.
            
            
            6. Hire a coach. The best way to win any game is to have an expert coach, and leadership is no exception to this rule. Top leaders recognize business coaching as critical to their success; these days, business publications are flooded with articles about how coaching has been instrumental for individual or corporate achievement. Seek referrals, and interview several coaches to find one whose goals and style fit your needs. Expect to pay a reasonable rate - and expect to receive extremely high value for your investment!
