<h3><strong>In an ever-shifting landscape, new managers face a daunting reality. The path to success is riddled with challenges, but merely surviving won&#8217;t cut it. Let us uncover the keys to leadership triumph and explore the essential skills required to excel as a New Manager.</strong></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>A staggering 60% of new managers underperform or fail within their first two years, according to <u></u><u><a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/williamarruda/2023/02/15/why-most-new-managers-fail-and-how-to-prevent-it/#:~:text=60%25%20of%20new%20managers%20fail%20within%20the%20first%2024%20months%20in%20their%20new%20role%2C%20according%20to%20research%20from%20CEB%20Global.">recent research</a>.</u> In an age marked by innovation and constant change, lacking the right skills isn&#8217;t just detrimental—it&#8217;s career-ending. So, how do you not just survive but thrive in your new role? Let&#8217;s dive in.</p>
<h3>Self-Awareness: The Managerial Mirror</h3>
<p>Self-awareness is a cornerstone of effective leadership, yet it remains one of the most misunderstood concepts. It’s not merely about understanding your preferences or being aware of your emotional responses; it&#8217;s a deeper process that involves multiple layers of consciousness. At the core of self-awareness is the capacity to look inward to understand your motivations, beliefs, and values. It&#8217;s an ongoing process that requires commitment and emotional labour.</p>
<p>Consider the<a href="https://www.gartner.com/en/human-resources/glossary/johari-window#:~:text=The%20Johari%20Window%20is%20a,by%20combining%20their%20first%20names." target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <u>Johari Window</u></a>, a model that identifies four quadrants of self: the Open Self, Hidden Self, Blind Self, and Unknown Self. As a manager, your goal should be to expand your Open Self by soliciting feedback, being transparent with your team, and investing in self-reflection.</p>
<p>Keeping a reflection journal isn&#8217;t merely a &#8216;quick tip&#8217;—it&#8217;s an essential practice. Documenting your thoughts, reactions, and decisions after key events or interactions allows you to dissect your cognitive and emotional processes. Over time, this journal becomes a mirror reflecting your managerial growth, helping you identify blind spots or biases that may be affecting your leadership.</p>
<h3>Conscious Leadership: Beyond the Profit Margin</h3>
<p>In 2023, conscious leadership isn&#8217;t a buzzword—it&#8217;s a paradigm shift. Leadership has transcended the boundaries of just profit and loss statements to embrace a more holistic ethos that considers the <a href="https://beyondgovernance.com/four-ps/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><u>quadruple bottom line</u></a>: People, Planet, Profit and Purpose. This isn&#8217;t a fad but a survival mechanism for companies aiming for long-term sustainability.</p>
<p>Conscious leadership requires an intricate understanding of the various components of your ecosystem. From supply chain ethics to the mental well-being of your employees, every decision creates ripples that affect the whole system. Adopting the quadruple bottom line approach is not a &#8220;Pro Tip,&#8221; but a fundamental restructuring of your managerial philosophy.</p>
<p>Your role as a conscious leader goes beyond being ethical; it means embedding responsible practices in your team’s DNA. Your metrics for success should not only focus on revenue but should also account for the social and environmental capital you’re either building or depleting.</p>

      </figure>
    </p>
<h3>Emotional Intelligence: The Unsung Hero</h3>
<p>In a dynamic work environment filled with diverse personalities and high-stress situations, emotional intelligence is often what differentiates a good manager from a great one. While IQ may give you the analytical skills to solve complex problems, EQ equips you with the social skills to navigate the complex web of human emotions.</p>
<p>Emotional intelligence isn&#8217;t something you switch on when it’s convenient; it should be a constant undercurrent in all your interactions. Whether you’re conducting performance reviews or mediating team conflicts, your ability to manage and utilise emotions constructively is crucial.</p>
<p>Implementing emotional check-ins at team meetings is more than a simple &#8220;Action Step&#8221;; it&#8217;s a strategy to build a culture of empathy. These check-ins serve as safe spaces for team members to express how they’re truly feeling, not just about projects but about the overall work environment. This practice creates a feedback loop that not only helps you tailor your management style but also contributes to team cohesion and mental well-being.</p>
<h3>The Art of Crucial Conversations</h3>
<p>Effective communication is indeed more than the exchange of information; it&#8217;s an art form that involves empathy, tact, and timing. According to the <u><a href="https://pumble.com/learn/communication/communication-statistics/#:~:text=Well%2C%20according%20to%20the,communication%20decreases%20productivity%2C" target="_blank" rel="noopener">State of Business Communication 2023 report</a></u>, 43% of business leaders claim that poor communication decreases productivity.</p>
<p>Mastering the art of crucial conversations involves more than just active listening; it necessitates a holistic understanding of the situation and the parties involved. You&#8217;re not merely a conduit for messages but a mediator of emotions, expectations, and outcomes.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.ccl.org/articles/leading-effectively-articles/coaching-others-use-active-listening-skills/#:~:text=Active%20listening%20requires%20you%20to,building%20block%20of%20compassionate%20leadership." target="_blank" rel="noopener"><u>Active listening</u></a> isn&#8217;t a &#8216;Skill Booster&#8217; but a foundational skill. When you genuinely listen—taking time to understand not just what is being said, but also what is left unsaid—you create an environment of trust. The practice of <u>&#8216;<a href="https://www.maxwell.syr.edu/docs/default-source/ektron-files/reflective-listening-neil-katz-and-kevin-mcnulty.pdf?sfvrsn=f1fa6672_7#:~:text=Reflective%20listening%20is%20a%20special,is%20being%20heard%20and%20understood." target="_blank" rel="noopener">reflective listening</a>,</u>&#8216; where you mirror back what you’ve heard, can be particularly effective in sensitive conversations. This ensures clarity and shows the other person that they have been genuinely heard and understood.</p>

<h3>Dynamics of a New Manager: The Glue That Holds Everything Together</h3>
<p>In the context of a <u><a href="https://www.gallup.com/workplace/231593/why-great-managers-rare.aspx#:~:text=Managers%20account%20for%20at%20least%2070%25%20of%20variance%20in%20employee%20engagement%20scores%20across%20business%20units%2C%20Gallup%20estimates.%20This%20variation%20is%20in%20turn%20responsible%20for%20severely%20low%20worldwide%20employee%20engagement" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gallup poll</a></u>, managers accounted for at least 70% of variances in employee engagement scores. As a new manager, you hold the metaphorical &#8216;remote control&#8217; to your team’s morale and productivity. Understanding team dynamics goes beyond identifying individual strengths and weaknesses; it involves creating synergies that make the collective output greater than the sum of individual efforts.</p>
<p>The concept of <u>&#8216;<a href="https://www.scie.org.uk/strengths-based-approaches/guidance#:~:text=Strengths%2Dmapping&amp;text=This%20method%20of%20assessment%20builds,the%20individual%20and%20the%20community." target="_blank" rel="noopener">strength mapping</a>&#8216;</u> isn’t a &#8216;Best Practice&#8217;; it&#8217;s a necessity. It involves a detailed analysis, often facilitated by assessments like <a href="https://www.gallup.com/cliftonstrengths/en/254033/strengthsfinder.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><u>Gallup&#8217;s StrengthsFinder</u></a> or the <a href="https://www.myersbriggs.org/my-mbti-personality-type/myers-briggs-overview/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><u>Myers-Briggs Type Indicator</u></a>, to identify not just what each team member is good at but also how those strengths can be orchestrated to achieve team goals.</p>
<h3>Understanding Project Management: Beyond Gantt Charts</h3>
<p>As work settings become increasingly virtual, with a little over 40% of employers working from home today according to <u><a href="https://www.forbes.com/advisor/business/remote-work-statistics/#:~:text=Despite%20the%20steady%20rise%20in%20remote%20work%2C%20the%20majority%20of%20the%20workforce%20(59.1%25)%20still%20work%20in%2Doffice" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Forbes</a></u>, the project management landscape is evolving at a breakneck pace. In this virtual realm, the scope of project management extends beyond Gantt charts and timelines to include virtual team dynamics, asynchronous communication, and digital project management tools.</p>
<p>The &#8216;Golden Rule&#8217; of having a contingency plan is really a Bronze Rule in today&#8217;s complex, adaptive systems. Risk management methodologies, like the <a href="https://www.projectmanager.com/blog/guide-using-risk-register" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><u>Risk Register</u></a> or <a href="https://www.techtarget.com/searchcio/definition/SWOT-analysis-strengths-weaknesses-opportunities-and-threats-analysis#:~:text=SWOT%20analysis%20is%20a%20framework,or%20establishing%20a%20business%20strategy." target="_blank" rel="noopener"><u>SWOT analysis</u></a>, should be integral parts of your project planning. This goes beyond merely &#8216;expecting the unexpected&#8217;; it&#8217;s about categorising and prioritising risks, assigning ownership, and developing mitigation strategies.</p>
<p>
      <figure class="image">

    </p>
<h3>Foundations in Finance: No, It&#8217;s Not Just for Accountants</h3>
<p>Managers are responsible for making financial decisions that can impact their organisations. Surveys have shown that a considerable number of managers lack a comprehensive understanding of corporate finance, which can hinder effective decision-making. Yet, as a manager, you&#8217;re accountable for the budgets that power your projects and initiatives. Your competency in finance isn&#8217;t an &#8216;extra&#8217; but a fundamental skill that directly correlates with your ability to make impactful decisions.</p>
<p>Learning to calculate financial ratios like profitability and liquidity isn&#8217;t &#8216;Quick Math&#8217;; it&#8217;s a toolset for strategic planning. Familiarising yourself with concepts like earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation <u>(<a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/e/ebitda.asp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">EBITDA</a>)</u>, <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/cashflow.asp" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><u>Cash Flow</u></a>, and <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/071114/how-do-you-calculate-working-capital.asp#:~:text=Key%20Takeaways,liabilities%20from%20its%20current%20assets." target="_blank" rel="noopener"><u>Working Capital</u></a> doesn&#8217;t just &#8216;impress the CFO&#8217;; it gives you the acumen to align your team’s objectives with the company&#8217;s financial goals.</p>
<h3>The Evolutionary Blueprint for Tomorrow&#8217;s Leaders</h3>
<p>Navigating the labyrinth of managerial responsibilities today is no small feat. It requires a comprehensive skill set, ongoing learning, and the resilience to adapt in an ever-evolving corporate landscape. To echo the words of Peter Drucker, &#8220;Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things.&#8221; As you ascend the corporate ladder, your aim should be to excel at both.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re committed to not just surviving but thriving in your role as a new manager, ongoing education and self-improvement are not optional; they&#8217;re essential. From developing self-awareness to mastering finance, each skill contributes to your efficacy as a manager, making you a valuable asset in any organisation&#8217;s journey towards long-term success.</p>

									<p>Women CEOs make news headlines simply for being women when they are appointed or when they resign. Last month, it was reported by South African media houses including <a href="https://www.news24.com/fin24/companies/momentum-metropolitan-appoints-sas-first-woman-ceo-in-life-insurance-sector-20230526">News 24</a> and <a href="https://www.businesslive.co.za/bd/companies/financial-services/2023-05-26-jeanette-marais-to-be-momentums-first-female-ceo/">Business Live </a> that Jeanette Marais has been appointed as Momentum Metropolitan Holdings’ new CEO, with headlines foregrounding her gender. Similarly, in February this year the news that Natascha Viljoen, CEO of Anglo Platinum, announced her resignation and that she was leaving South Africa was reported by <a href="https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2023-02-15-amplats-ceo-natascha-viljoen-to-move-to-top-gold-producer-newmont-as-coo/">Daily Maverick</a> and other media houses, with Moneyweb hailing her as a “<a href="https://www.moneyweb.co.za/mineweb/natascha-viljoen-breaker-of-glass-ceilings-to-leave-anglo-platinum/">breaker of glass ceilings</a>”. Worldwide <a href="https://fortune.com/2023/01/12/fortune-500-companies-ceos-women-10-percent/">Fortune 500 data</a> shows that women make up just over 10% of CEO positions. In South Africa, not that far behind,  <a href="https://www.pwc.co.za/en/publications/executive-directors-report.html?utm_source=BusinessTech&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_campaign=March+2023">PwC’s Executive Directors Report 2022</a>, reports that only seven of the top 100 listed companies on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) have women as CEOs.</p><p><strong>The ‘Warrior Spirit’ of women leaders</strong></p><p><span style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; background-color: var(--ast-global-color-5);">Regenesys Corporate Education is launching a course in August 2023 which is centred on developing women leaders’ deep sense of self and channelling what it calls “the warrior spirit” of women leaders. This “spirit” is characterised by the qualities of being resilient, analytical, assertive, passionate and knowing her worth and why she is in the position that she is.  Tresella Nayager, one of the course designers, articulates that “women in leadership” is “a field on its own within leadership and management which different countries approach differently, but all agree that the reason for its existence is because women are not given their rightful place in business and leadership roles, especially at the top, specifically executive management, C-suit level positions”. This comes from discrimination against women over generations. Training women for leadership through programmes such as its own, Regenesys aims to address this gap.</span></p><p>The course is aimed at developing healthy inner-dialogs of women leaders to foster resilience in overcoming and fighting against the hurdles specific to women in the workplace such as unconscious biases, microaggressions, and unequal pay.</p><p><strong>Unequal pay, Microaggressions and Mansplaining </strong></p><p>Africa has a median <a href="https://www.usb.ac.za/usb_insights/equal-pay-for-equal-work-how-does-south-africa-measure-up/">gender pay gap between 23% and 35%</a>, which is higher than the global average of 20%. Women also experience bias and discrimination in the workplace not only in the form of  unequal pay, but also  microaggressions and sexual harassment. Women of colour, face double bias of race and gender, including a lack of access to capital as well as racial prejudices of scepticism of the concept of black excellence. When men over-explain things that women know already, it’s called “mansplaining”, see the book <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/333973158_Glass_Ceilings_Women_in_South_African_media_houses_2018_Introducing_a_new_chapter_on_Cyber_Misogyny">Glass Ceilings Women in SA media</a>, published by GenderLinks (2018)  for examples of this patronising tendency, which is plain sexism.</p><p>Dr Penny Law, Co-founder and Executive Director of Regenesys explains that “we operate in a workplace that’s influenced by unconscious bias. When women express their opinions strongly, the general perception is that they are aggressive. On the other hand, when men express their opinions strongly, they are perceived as being assertive. A women’s contribution in a meeting, is sometimes overlooked. However, when a man makes exactly the same point a few minutes later, he is not only acknowledged but deemed to have made an important contribution. When men speak, people listen. The experience of micro aggressions could lead to women experiencing imposter syndrome because they don’t feel they belong[…] The fight for gender equality is complex as the effects of patriarchy are systemic.” </p>								</div>

									<p><strong>Warrior-spirited women must lead with their male allies. </strong></p><p>If we consider that men are still the prime beneficiaries of the status-quo of the existing social order, then empowering women is, in part, men’s work. That is, men need to take on the role of being allies.  When men advocate for women in leadership, they’re more likely to be taken seriously than if it were only women rallying behind other women, according to a <a href="https://spssi.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/josi.12083">2014 study published by Wiley</a>. </p><p>An <a href="https://greatergood.berkeley.edu/article/item/nine_tips_for_being_a_male_ally_at_work">ally</a> is defined as a “person who holds a position of privilege and power and can advocate and take action to support [an underrepresented] group without taking over their voice”. For Regenesys Corporate Education CEO Kapil Jaggeth, being  an ally is “an on-going commitment that requires continuous support and learning, awareness, self-reflection and most importantly, action”. He further elucidates that acting means being a person who does things for the person(s) of whom one considers themselves an ally. This entails “being a support mechanism, a learning mechanism, and a research-sharing mechanism”[…]. An ally in this sense needs to bring about equity”. Jaggeth further explains that men can learn from how women on how to do things differently.</p><p><strong>Women in leadership: the power of networking and learning </strong></p><p>There is ample research to suggest that when marginalized group members have colleagues as allies, they have <a href="https://psycnet.apa.org/doi/10.1037/0021-9010.87.6.1191">increased job satisfaction, lower anxiety</a>, and a <a href="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jvb.2011.03.018">stronger workplace commitment</a>.  It is through engagement with men in leadership positions, awareness and diversity training, as well as through networks to empower women in leadership that progress in gender equity can be made.</p><p>For leaders, men and women alike, the importance of research with the latest statistics, as shown here, thought-leadership articles, consciousness raising, debates about concepts such as “male allies”, leadership training whether together or separately, executive coaching, masterclasses, board training, mentorship and networking – all surely have some value. Women who face gender-based barriers to success, need learning solutions that are tailored to their particular experiences and contexts.</p><p> Women leaders can also empower one another through networking and learning together. There is also the argument, that because men hold more than 90% of the top position, they can play a role, be a bit self-reflexive and make way, or room at the table. Male leaders in business can come to the party and play their ally roles here &#8211; if they genuinely believe in a non-sexist future. Bring on the warrior spirits please.</p>								</div>

These changes have necessitated &nbsp;corporate communication professionals in South Africa to be attuned with corporate communication best practices and trends as well as contextual background of social, political and economic phenomena amidst which they operate. &nbsp;That is, corporate communications in South Africa cannot be divorced from the politics of the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2023-05-22-russia-relay-presidencys-intelligence-minister-jets-off-to-moscow-a-week-after-the-army-chiefs-visit/?utm_source=homepageify&amp;medium=link">country’s involvement in Russia’s war on Ukraine</a>, economic downturn, disinvestment, the importance of women empowerment, difficult race relations and xenophobia. &nbsp;Awareness of context is maintained through relationships with the news media.</p><p>The internal and external stakeholders of South African companies have multicultural, multi-ethnic and multilingual individuals representing diverse personal backgrounds, experiences, values and ethical approaches. Diversity and intersectional approaches to leadership in a South African context must be reflected in marketing and public relations outputs for South African companies to succeed.</p><p>Corporate communication professionals must also maintain wholesome relationships with local and international media houses, and, be equipped with sound knowledge of the principles of effective corporate communications. Some companies have their own in-house communications teams, while others outsource communication responsibilities to public relations or marketing companies. The lines between public relations and marketing have become blurred especially in the digital age, where the two overlap or merge.</p><figure class="table" style="width:100%;"><table class="ck-table-resized"><colgroup><col style="width:100%;"></colgroup><thead><tr><th>Table of Content</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Top 9 Best Courses to Study in Tanzania</td></tr><tr><td>Top 9 Best Courses to Study in Tanzania</td></tr><tr><td>Top 9 Best Courses to Study in Tanzania</td></tr><tr><td>Top 9 Best Courses to Study in Tanzania</td></tr><tr><td>Data Science Course in Tanzania</td></tr><tr><td>Data Science Course in Tanzania</td></tr><tr><td>Data Science Course in Tanzania</td></tr><tr><td>Data Science Course in Tanzania</td></tr></tbody></table></figure><h6><strong>What is Corporate Communication?</strong></h6><p>Corporate communication is defined as ‘the overall planning, execution and evaluation an organisation’s communication with both external and internal publics – groups that affect the ability of an organisation to meet its goals’, according to <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://journals.co.za/doi/pdf/10.10520/EJC27731">James Grunig</a>. &nbsp;Corporate communication encompasses a wide range of relations between an organisation and its stakeholders in order to enhance the effectiveness of an organisation. &nbsp;These relations take on many different forms but broadly fall within three categories:</p><p><strong>Public Relations(PR)</strong>&nbsp;– PR&nbsp;concerns the curatorship of a brand’s image by conveying messages to the media and to the general public. This includes crisis management. The professional body for corporate communication in South Africa is the Public Relations Institute of Southern Africa (PRISA), a non-profit organisation that has been accrediting PR and PR-related qualifications for the past few decades.</p><p><strong>Marketing </strong>– Also referred to as customer relations, marketing covers communication with the general public as prospective and real-time customers. The goal of marketing is to sell a company’s services or products.</p><p><strong>Internal communications</strong>&nbsp;– Companies need convey information to their employees of various goings-on at the organisation. This is known as internal communications.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p></div></div><div class="elementor-element elementor-element-3db1d83 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor" data-id="3db1d83" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="text-editor.default"><div class="elementor-widget-container"><p><strong>Corporate Communications Today: Integrated Communications</strong></p><p>Today, corporate communication is no longer simply newsletters and press releases but takes on ‘digital disruption’ including videos, blogs, and social media campaigns. Integrated communication, which is critical for success of an organisation, refers to having a consistent narrative and voice present across all platforms. Clarity of the rationale for the organisation, unity of organisational procedures and organisational purpose, and of what the organisation does must be&nbsp; integrated for successful business operations. That said, &nbsp;integration is a continuous organisational pursuit and not merely a quick-fix solution to marketing management. Integration produces integrity because an organisation that is seen as a whole rather than as an compendium of autonomous functions. &nbsp;Each output of corporate communication must be carefully curated to deliver memorable, clear, and focused messages that align with the company’s values and purpose.</p><p>The intentions of corporate communication are to build the company image, market the company’s products or services; maintain a positive reputation in its industry, and bridge information gaps between employees and management. The skills necessary for effective corporate communications include writing, social media, videography, presentations, data analytics, crisis management strategy, and critical thinking. The work of communications is critical for the success of any company. Corporate communication professionals have an important &nbsp;role to play in the processes of ensuring companies’ continuous adaption &nbsp;to the competitive international environment.</p><p>Regenesys Corporate Education in partnership with South African broadcast media expert and personality Jeremy Maggs is hosting a <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://corporateeducation.regenesys.net/professional-communications-bootcamp/">professional communications bootcamp</a> in which participants learn how to deal with the South African and international media in the ever-changing, time pressured world of communications;&nbsp; how to handle a workplace crisis; how best to deliver an emotive keynote address and how to offer a presentation that will yield desired results and be unforgettable.
