Managers, especially people who may not have previous management experience, may need further assistance to succeed including:

• Development – Developing managers in harm reduction organizations often means training from within. Start by identifying potential leaders and giving them responsibilities.
• Training – Once you have identified potential managers, it is critical that they receive leadership, delegation, and management training. Look for opportunities both in the harm reduction community and also the larger non-profit world. For smaller organizations: look for scholarships and ask for donor support to create the best possible team to serve your community.
• Supporting – As with all employees, managers must continue to be supported in their evolving roles after their initial training through mentorship, continued training, and coaching.
