However, the four main beneficiaries are: a) Recently promoted team leads, supervisors, project managers and business owners; b) Those who have been in their current first-timer position for a while; c) Aspiring first-timers; and d) Seasoned leaders who are coaching and mentoring first-timers in their organizations.”
