Thanks for sharing your story. Transitioning from individual contributor to manager is one of the most difficult transitions you can make. The skills you need are indeed different. Over my career I have moved into and out of manager positions multiple times. Once I realized that I could make a bigger impact by working through people, I began to settle in and enjoy serving others by leading. I am genuinely excited when I see my team succeed at what they do. For sure, management and leadership is not for everyone. But if you are ready to take the “leap,” I can show you how to avoid the rookie mistakes I made.
