The essential management toolkit for new managers
Over 30 years, =mc‘s Emerging Managers Programme has helped more than 3,000 new or soon-to-be managers make the transition from team member to team leader. The learning – using the latest tools and techniques to manage themselves and their team – is based on =mc’s research into the needs and concerns of emerging managers. It’s designed to give participants a safe opportunity to try out new skills and approaches, while also providing them with detailed feedback and the opportunity for self-reflection.

=mc uses Zoom as a
virtual classroom, where the modules will take place. The platform enables high levels of participation. To take part in
=mc online learning you will need access to a computer with a working microphone, speakers (or headphones) and a webcam. You’ll need to be in a quiet space with a good internet connection.
Sorry the date doesn't work for you this time.
All our public training is scheduled when enough demand is there, so please
register your interest here, and we'll let you know as soon as a new date is set.
If you have 6 or more people to train it's worth getting in touch to discuss in-house options.
These include:
- your choice of structure – as well as choosing dates to suit you, you can also decide whether to have the content delivered full days, half-day sessions or bitesize sessions over separate days.
- tailoring options – if you're looking to focus on particular elements of the programme, we can look into this.
- developing internal processes – by bringing your team together, you can adapt =mc approaches to develop your internal language and time management approach. Our trainers will hold facilitated discussions to gain group commitments and agreements
- self-directed learning – this enables participants to set learning goals, acquire knowledge and skills, set their own actions and evaluate themselves using a customised web portal which we'll build for you.
In order to make sure your in-house training needs are met, the best way to start this process is with a conversation (for free of course).

It is also for managers who have been in post for a few years without any management training. It is the ideal development opportunity for managers or potential managers that an organisation has identified for fast track.
“Several members of our team attended the Emerging Managers Programme and really found it useful. Their direct reports have even commented on how their styles have changed, so it’s worked out really well for us.”

Matt Guy, Corporate Partnership Manager, Alzheimer’s Society
“When it comes to management and leadership skills, there is only one organisation I trust to deliver consistent and exceptional learning and that is the Management Centre. We’ve been working with them for twenty years and they’ve always matched our very high expectations. Great management skills are critical to us making a difference in the world and I’m grateful that the =mc team are there to help us do just that.”
Duncan Robertshaw, Chief Executive, Darts (Doncaster Community Arts)
