Title: Chapter 1: A question of ethics
Course: WISE copy MGMT 300 Foundations of Management > Section: Week 1: September 18 - September 24

Twenty-six percent of new managers feel they’re unprepared to transition into management roles. Fifty-eight percent of new managers don’t receive any training to help them make the transition.  Forty-eight percent of first-time managers fail in that transition.
Moving to a management position isn’t easy, as these statistics indicate.

Please use this discussion board to answer the following questions (please number your responses)

1) Does an organization have an ethical responsibility to assist its new managers in their new positions? Why or why not? 

2) What could organizations do to make this transition easier?

3) Provide an example of your personal transition to a supervisory/management position and explain what type of training, if any, you received. What would you do differently if you were to hire/promote a person in to a supervisory/management position. If you don't have personal experience, please interview someone who does and share their responses.
