Press Release Summary = This new white paper challenges the appropriateness of the
traditional management training model for those who are new to management. It also
discusses an alternative model

Press Release Body = TORONTO, CANADA-March 14, 2007-According to speaker, author and
coach Helen Wilkie, new and recently appointed managers face specific issues and
problems that are often not recognized or dealt with in conventional management
training programs. The results can be disastrous for both the managers and their
companies.

With new, untested young managers having to take the reins and prove themselves at a
faster rate than ever in today\'s workplace, a new training model is needed
specifically for them. It must take into account their lack of understanding of
universal management principles and skills, and allow more opportunity than is
usually provided to practice their new skills on the job while still in training
mode.

Wilkie has written a white paper entitled, \"Changing the Way You Train Your New
Managers: What\'s In It for You?\", found at http://www.mhwcom.com/whitepaper.html .
The white paper challenges the value of traditional management training for new and
recently appointed managers. It offers a new model that specifically addresses their
needs, and dicusses how the change can affect an organization's profitability.

Conventional management training problems highlighted by the white paper include:

. Too much information crammed into short time, leading to overwhelm and panic
. No chance to practice until the program is over
. Company-specific information interferes with learning the principles of management
. Managers away from their jobs at the wrong time
. Focus on conceptual subjects like leadership, authenticity, etc. while managers
worry about practical issues like running a meeting or hiring new people

The white paper then outlines an alternative approach, specifically focusing on the
needs of new and recently appointed managers.
