Making the Transition into Management
“The most important decisions you make in your first 90 days will probably be about people.” – Michael D. Watkins.
Transitioning into a management position is exciting, but challenging, mostly because it requires a whole different set of skills than the job you were doing yesterday.
The fact is most new managers don’t understand their new jobs. The skills and mindset that made you successful in your individual contributor role are likely not enough – and possibly not even related – to the knowledge and skills you’ll need to help you thrive in your new position.
This interactive session will give you tips and tricks for successfully making the transition and help you overcome some common misperceptions about the transition.
Learning Objectives: By the end of this session, you should be able to:
- Manage the expectations of your constituents
- Determine where you should spend your time
