First-time Manager? No Worries

 
 
Management is a tricky topic and what might work for one employee or one organization might not work for another. Many first-time managers learn through trial and error what works and what doesn't, but there are still a few things you can do to make the transition easier.

 


So please try to do the following:


Understand your company’s vision :

If you don’t know where you’re going, you can’t effectively communicate the path to your staff. Your employees need to understand how their jobs fit into the big picture and how they’ll know if they’ve been successful in contributing to company’s goals.
Use existing strength to meet new expectation :

Good all advised identifying your current strengths and building upon them to fulfill the expectations that come with your promotion.
 Establish strong relationship with your team:

Getting to know your team members and finding out how they're doing, not only in their careers but in their personal lives, is a great way to create the necessary rapport to work well as a group.

Accept that you still have much to learn :  

You will have worked hard for your promotion and have ample expertise in your chosen field, but you may find that you lack self-confidence in your ability to lead. Be prepared to learn from others – including your new team.


Communicate clearly:    
Always keep your team fully informed of project goals, priorities, and those all-important deadlines. Effective communication will be essential in both establishing your credibility and gaining the support of your team, so be sure to provide clear direction and always welcome questions and feedback from others.


Improve your self:    

  Be open to your shortcomings and make an effort to improve them. Pick one thing you’d like to develop and put a plan in place.
