Recommendation

The transition from individual contributor to manager demands a profound shift – from focusing on your own work to ensuring performance by guiding and nurturing others. The Wharton School’s Dr. Rachel Pacheco covers the critical skills a new manager must develop: giving constructive feedback and praise; making tough decisions concerning poor performers; and much more. Pacheco’s advice and tools will likely help any new manager make a smoother, faster transition to their new role. 

Take-Aways

  • Most first-time managers learn to manage on the job.
  • Manage team members’ performance by providing clear expectations and feedback.
  • Direct your own learning, and coach your people to do the same.
