If you’re managing managers for the first time in your career, here’s how to set yourself up for success.
Congratulations! You’ve been promoted or hired to manage managers for the first time. Get ready though, because you’re about to find yourself in a whole new role.
At some point in the past, you’ve probably moved from an individual contributor to a manager role, and had to learn a whole new set of skills and behaviors. You’ve survived and thrived in one transition, so how can you do the same this time?
One big change is that while before you were managing teams directly, now the teams are no longer yours to manage in the day to day.
