When a new manager is promoted into their position, it’s typically because they’ve been good at getting things done. They’re usually outstanding performers, which is why they’ve been tapped for leadership. It can be an incredible boon to anyone’s career. But more often than not, the transition from outstanding performer to successful manager can be a difficult one.
The skillset required to be good at doing things, is quite different from the skillset required to be good at managing things. Of course time management, communication and delegation skills are required to thrive, but they’ll likely already encompass those. Unfortunately, their other skills, the skills they learned to be outstanding in their previous role, don’t always translate to being a great manager.
