Recommendation

In this crisp, engaging guide, Facebook Reality Labs creative director Jason Sperling walks creative workers through the fraught transition into management. He advises that your first order of business is to forget about doing your own thing and to focus instead on advocating for those in your former job. In each artfully designed, well organized chapter, Sperling gives brief remarks on a topic, then serves up relevant quotes and anecdotes from executives in Hollywood, Manhattan and other corners of the creative universe.

Take-Aways

  • The transition from creative contributor to boss is challenging.
  • When you receive a promotion to a management job, your focus changes from ideas to people.
  • Creative workers often operate on raw emotion, their minds echoing with many fears.
