You promoted someone because they were brilliant at their job. Now they're expected to manage people: standards, performance, communication, motivation, conflict, delegation - often with no training and little support.
In SMEs, that gap shows up fast: problems get left too long, standards become inconsistent, high performers disengage, owners get pulled back into people issues.

Don't worry, we can help!
