CCL Boost™ equips new managers to rise with confidence, shift their mindset, and succeed in the leadership leap. Because the future of work requires leaders who don’t just manage tasks, but also develop people.
Being good at your job doesn’t mean you’re ready to lead others.
First-time managers are often promoted for performance, but not prepared for people leadership. The result? Missteps, burnout, disengaged teams, and high failure rates.
Most new managers never receive formal training. They’re expected to ‘figure it out.’ That gap can cost the organization performance and erode the new leader’s confidence.
This course closes that gap with clarity, practical tools, and the support every new leader deserves.
60% of new managers received no training.
50% are rated “ineffective” by their supervisor
40% fail within the first 18 months.
Most don’t fail because they’re unqualified; they fail because they’re unequipped. CCL Boost™ helps new leaders master six essential shifts that turn early uncertainty into early wins.
