New Management Assimiliation

In the last one year, I have heard of, read about and, in some cases, even experienced  hundreds of HR interventions such as employee satisfaction and engagement surveys, EVP discovery, 360 Degree feedback, etc., but never did I come across New Management Assimilation (NMA) until last week when my talent management professor introduced this intervention to my class. It is basically aimed at supporting both a new manager and the rest of his team in developing a positive and open work relationship. The process usually followed is such: after the manager has been with the team for 2-3 months, the team is asked to share qualitative feedback about the new manager. Later, the manager is provided with the feedback to reflect over. Finally, the manager and the team congregate to discuss the key concerns raised.

Have you ever experienced an NMA? Do you have any other valuable points to share regarding this intervention? Please feel free to post in the comments section.
