Back to original languageAbout Lucien
A new managerial position can be costly: destabilized team and declining results. Yet, the majority of new managers are left to themselves in the first few weeks.
RNCP 6 certified professional coach, I support newly appointed managers in fulfilling their role. For HR, training managers, and SME executives who want to secure a nomination and accelerate ramp-up, without waiting for mistakes to accumulate.
I support managers and people in transition in these areas:
1. Clarify the Manager's Role
Mapping of actual responsibilities (what falls under the manager vs. the team)
Analysis of explicit and implicit expectations from the N+1
Definition of decision-making scope
Tool examples: SMARTEF / Drivers / 5 Whys
2. Establish Managerial Authority
Work on physical presence and non-verbal communication
Knowing how to say no, reframe, decide without brutality or avoidance
Simulations and role-playing on difficult situations
Methods: DISC, NVC, assertive communication
3. Lead the Team Towards Performance
Effective meeting facilitation (managerial rituals: brief, weekly check-in, 1:1)
Management of intra-team conflicts
Feedback: knowing how to give regular positive and corrective feedback
Methods: Hudson Model
4. Sustain in the Long Term
Management of the manager's mental load
Building a routine for stepping back
Anchoring new practices in daily life
I start from your real context. What we work on concretely: role and priorities, credible managerial posture, impact in communication, conflict management, sustainable performance dynamics.
Why work with me?Former non-commissioned officer in the Army, then Supply Chain Manager for 15 years where I supervised up to 100 people. I experienced the transition from 'doing' to 'getting things done' on the ground before teaching it.
