Here’s what I notice happening to new managers, and it may be happening to you too:If you’re constantly working excessive overtime to keep everything running… Or if you’re frequently stressing over how to get a never-ending task list done…You probably never learned how to successfully operate in your new role. Let’s face it… going from a role as an individual contributor to a manager is not easy.The role is so different from any role previous to it. Instead of doing the work yourself, you have to direct and oversee others to do it.This requires an entirely new skill set that most people are not taught in school or are trained on before their big promotion.Do this poorly, and like most people, you’ll find yourself quickly overwhelmed. But if you develop the right skills, you’ll start to get a lot more done while also finding that you’re probably working less than ever.I’m fortunate enough to have been mentored by several successful managers throughout my career.Implementing their insights and lessons moved me away from working long hours and from being constantly stressed.So I now work with others to help them do the same.
