Stepping into management requires a shift in your thinking. Up until now, you were likely rewarded for producing.
- If you were in sales, you sold a lot.
- If you were in production, you made a lot of items.
- If you were an analyst, you identified problems and solved them.
Now your success and your team’s success are dependent on your ability to make the mental shift from your own work to managing the work of others.

Does your company have a formal transition program or are you faced with finding your own way?
