From Expert to Manager
Making a Highly-Successful Transition
Working as an expert, whether in IT, operations, engineering, or any other area, will only get you so far in your career. If you want to progress, a time will come when you have to make the transition from being "one of the team," to being a manager and leader of people. Only by doing this can you continue to expand the positive impact of your work – and your value to your organization.
However, this transition brings many new challenges. How can you make a uniquely effective contribution in the role? What skills do you need to work on to become a good manager and leader? How do you make sure that you and your team are working towards the right objectives? And who do you need keep satisfied, and why?
This workbook helps you answer these questions, and many more. What's more, once you've worked through it, you'll have a robust plan for being a real success in your new role.
This workbook guides you through five key areas for making a successful transition to manager:
