383 : How to Train a Manager

Chris DeferioLeadership, Management, Podcast, Uncategorized

 

It is easy to assume that if you have found the right person for the manager role then they will not need very much investment or guidance from you to get the hang of things. After all, they are amazing and you trust their “can do” attitude will be enough to help them succeed.

Obviously this is not the case, but that doesn’t stop this misconception from being repeated over and over again in cafes around the world.

Truth is that no matter who you hire you will need to have a structured plan for how they will be onboarded, trained, and invested into over a significant period of time so they are not only capable, but confident and trustworthy in their work as a true leader, not just a barista with a few extra admin tasks.

On today’s show we will be going over some needed mindsets, approaches and methods for training up a manager that may challenge the way you have been doing things to this point, but will definitely set everyone up for success.

We cover:

  • Who is a good manager and what do they do?
  • The misconception of time
  • Your role in the relationship
  • Real investment and specificity
  • Developing beyond knowledge transfer
  • Committing to long term development
  • Co-creation and staying touch with the real needs of the shop
