A manager has to be able to tell employees things they might not want to hear and to ensure they do what is necessary for the department or company to succeed. If you are at all unhappy in addressing ineffective performance (but instead step in to do the work for someone rather than getting them to do the work themselves) you will make yourself miserable assuming a managerial role. Sometimes a good team leader can't transition to become a good manager because they find they are unable or unwilling to take on the challenge listed above. The main obstacle to success for a lot of new managers is that they find their need to be well liked by their employees is more important to them than requiring their staff to do the work way the company needs it done.evilcatberthttp://evilcatbert.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33004692.post-81715304639154953932010-06-24T09:08:57.470+02:002010-06-24T09:08:57.470+02:00Skillfulness is very important for anyone to perfo...Skillfulness is very important for anyone to perform their task done with minimum effort.

Or to put it differently, being the best programmer doesn't necessarily mean that one should be the programmers' manager, because programming and management are completely separate skill sets. The manager should be the one with the best management skills.Harris Silvermanhttp://www.harrissilverman.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33004692.post-24448461051609357052010-06-24T02:36:18.210+02:002010-06-24T02:36:18.210+02:00Hi

If it is making everyone around me feel better, what does it do to me? What does it do to the organization?<br />- Who appreciates my skills?<br />- What sort of feedback do I get? How often do I seek feedback? From who?<br />- Where do I want to get in the end? Who is going to monitor my progress?<br />- How do I develop myself?<br />- What are the measure of success?<br /><br />If you can start with these questions, your job is nearly done. Look inside yourself and you will find the power within.<br /><br />Good luck.<br />SergeyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01455949472705629468noreply@blogger.com
