From the course: Making the Move from Individual Contributor to Manager

A manager's world is different

- Congratulations. You've been promoted to a leadership role or are very close to that milestone. Your whole perspective on your career and organization is about to change. You'll learn new skills, of course, but the biggest and most important challenge is a shift in mindset. You probably were promoted because you were a strong individual contributor. Now you've got to move out of that comfort zone and guide others to do the work. I'm Dr. Carolyn Goerner. I've been a management professor and consultant for almost 30 years, and I just made a transition in my own management role. So all of this is fresh on my mind. I'm excited to share some new insights and practices successful managers embrace.
