Discover strategies for navigating your first 30 days as a manager, building strong relationships, and evolving into a leader who empowers others. Don’t miss this opportunity to elevate your career and develop the skills needed for impactful management.
Takeaways:
Your manager transition starts now! Becoming a manager requires a combination of readiness and opportunity. Actively develop management skills and create opportunities by being transparent about your aspirations to be a people manager.
How to spend your first 30 days: Prioritize relationship building over mastering domain expertise. Get to know your people, and help them get to know you.
Once you’re a manager, stop being an IC: Transitioning from building products to building people requires a change in mindset. Trust your team to take ownership of their areas, avoid duplicating their efforts, and focus on areas where you can add unique value.
