Take-Aways

  • Being an employee is one thing; becoming the manager of your former peers is a whole new game.
  • Management "techniques" are tools a manager can use, not instant solutions.
  • Two areas exist for possible conflict with your boss: 1) The boss always thinks he can do your job better; and 2) He may not like the way you decide to do your job.
