New Manager Field Guide
Your free New Manager Profile told you how you tend to lead across six core areas. This is the workbook that turns it into a plan, built from your own results: the strengths to lead with, your two areas to grow first, and the proven new-manager moves that fit where you actually landed.
One-time purchase, no subscription. Built from your own assessment results.
Built to the TrueStep HR standard
- Your six competencies, read as a stage: leadership mindset, communication, coaching, feedback, delegation, and time, strongest first, with no score and no ranking
- A focused module for each of your two areas to grow first: a stage-specific read, what strong looks like, and three concrete first moves you can run this week
- The proven new-manager toolkit: a thirty-sixty-ninety ramp, an expectation-setting brief, a delegate-the-outcome worksheet, an early-feedback script, a one-on-one question bank, and a team scorecard
- A thirty-day plan seeded from your results: it starts on the single area your profile flags as highest leverage, so you work the thing that matters most first
- A print-ready PDF you keep: generated the moment you buy, yours to download and revisit
Every page is generated from your results, so the Field Guide you get is keyed to where you landed, not a generic management summary.
This product is built from your results

This is a development tool for self-reflection and growth as a manager. It is built for personal development rather than hiring, promotion, or selection, and it reads your own results rather than comparing you to other people.

A workbook that works from your results, not a generic report
The free report described how you tend to lead. The Field Guide is where you do something with it. Every section is built from your actual results.
Three steps from a free profile to a plan you will actually use
Who the Field Guide fits, and where to go if that is not you
A strong fit if
- You are a new or frontline manager and want to act on your profile, not just read it.
- You like working in a structured way: one area at a time, with concrete moves and a real tool for each.
- You want development keyed to how you actually lead rather than generic management advice.
Probably not this if
- You have not taken the free profile yet. Start there; this is built from it.
- You want a read on your work-style traits rather than how you manage a team. The Work Style Field Guide fits that better.
- You need a clinical or selection assessment. This is a development tool, not a clinical or hiring instrument.
Before you buy
Do I need to take the assessment first?
Yes. The Field Guide is generated from your New Manager Profile results, so it only makes sense once you have taken the free assessment. It takes about nine minutes, and your results carry straight through to checkout.
How is this different from the free report?
The free report tells you how you tend to lead across six areas. The Field Guide is a workbook that acts on it: a focused module for each of your two areas to grow first with concrete first moves, the proven new-manager toolkit, and a thirty-day plan seeded with your highest-leverage area. It is built from your results, page by page.
What is in the toolkit?
The tools every new manager needs, built from the evidence base: a thirty-sixty-ninety ramp for your first three months, an expectation-setting brief, a delegate-the-outcome worksheet, an early-feedback script, a one-on-one question bank, and a simple team scorecard. Your two focus areas each come with the tool built for them, and the rest are there when you are ready.
Does it score me or rank me?
No. The Field Guide reads your approach as a development stage, strongest first, with no number, no percentile, and no comparison against other people. It is built to show you what your approach looks like now and the next behavior to build.
What format is it and what do I get?
It is a print-ready PDF, generated from your results the moment you buy. Open it, save it, and work through it at your own pace. It is yours to keep.
Is this used for hiring or evaluation?
No. This is a development tool for self-reflection and growth as a manager. It is built for personal development rather than hiring, promotion, or selection, and it reads your own results rather than comparing you to other people.
This tool is built on published method and current rules. Read the basis yourself:
