This should also mention as a generality that managers should get training and support from the organization.

This, in my experience, almost never happens. Companies just assume you know how to be a good manager. They shouldn't make that assumption even for experienced hires, especially if they're looking to establish a specific culture.

Even if they don't assume the manager is a good one, I think it's common to have cultures where first time managers are expected to just figure it out for themselves, because their manager had to do the same thing.

Usually managers get trained in the bureaucratic processes of management but yes, there is usually no training in how to actually manage and often no mentoring either.
