What’s in this document

  • The full 90-day flow (assess → train → apply on the job → check in)
  • Module structure and schedule
  • Weekly on-the-job assignments and manager conversation guide
  • 90-day checklist and how to verify results
  • Sample entry — 9 new team leaders at a manufacturer

How to use it

  1. Don’t stop at a one-day workshop. Schedule the on-the-job assignments and manager conversations right alongside it. Behavior change happens outside the training room.
  2. Putting the manager’s role in writing is what makes check-in conversations actually happen. Send the manager the check-in guide in this file first.
  3. Share the 90-day review criteria (behavioral indicators, team member survey, manager evaluation) at the start so the process is fair.
  4. In the results report, put the verdict (settled, needs support, intensive support) and the next step in one line. Sign-off goes faster.

FAQ

When should new team leader training take place?

Start within a month of promotion. The design runs in this order: pre-assessment before and after promotion → first-month group training → 13-week on-the-job assignments → 90-day review.

How is this different from the program design template in the Forms Library?

The program design template covers a single course (8 hours). This document is a sample design for the full 90-day development track, including that course. Use the two together.

Are the documents free?

Yes, they are free. Leave your company name, name, and email to download right away, and we will also email a copy of the same files as a single zip file. We do not collect phone numbers.

Can I adapt these as my company's own documents?

Yes. You can change the company name, figures, and approval boxes and use the documents internally as they are. Please credit the source (Nanum Consulting) only if you redistribute them externally.
