Fill in: 'We ___ a structured transition plan for every first-time manager, rather than promoting someone and simply hoping they figure it out alone.'
We 'build a plan' — the standard, simple collocation for preparing a structured onboarding path into management. The other options are less idiomatic here.
2 / 5
Fill in: 'Promoting a strong individual contributor with no management training can ___ a whole new team without any real guidance for months.'
We say an untrained promotion will 'leave' a team without guidance — the standard, natural collocation for the resulting gap. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
3 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ a peer mentor to every new manager, rather than expecting them to invent good management practice entirely from scratch.'
We 'assign a mentor' — the standard, simple collocation for pairing a new manager with experienced support. The other options are less idiomatic here.
4 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ early management decisions with a mentor before acting on them, rather than a first-time manager guessing under real pressure alone.'
We 'review a decision' — the standard, simple collocation for checking early choices with a more experienced peer. The other options are less idiomatic here.
5 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ progress with new managers at ninety days, rather than assuming the transition succeeded simply because nobody's complained.'
We 'check progress' — the standard, simple collocation for formally reviewing a new manager's transition. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
