Team leader development

One of the most difficult times in any Manager's career is when they first take on responsibility for managing people. Whether they are called Team Leaders, Supervisors, Chargehands, First Line Managers or something else the responsibility and the pressure is the same.
It is a time when you find yourself responsible for the behaviour, performance and output of others. Rather than just having to think about your own attitudes, behaviours, actions and motivation you have to consider that of others. Many of the people who are promoted into this role are the best "technicians" in their field of work - but not necessarily the best leaders and managers of other people. How often do we choose our new managers based on their people skills as well as their professional skills?
How do you know if a person has the potential and desire to become a really good manager?
How much preparation and management training do we provide them with beforehand and how much guidance, support and management training do we provide them with during the first 24 months of them taking up this new role?
Moving across the "Fence" from employee to manager is one of the hardest transitions that we may make during our careers - some of us never make the transition effectively.
