I’m not a manager but if you’re being promoted I can only assume they believe in you & think you are ready! Take their confidence in you & build on it! Good luck, you deserve it!
Your first project is going to make you feel like you have no idea what you’re doing but just keep trucking, you’ll learn a lot and make mistakes but by your second/third project you’ll feel so much more confident! Just don’t bear yourself up on your first project because you will make mistake
Be a good listener!! A large part of managing people is being able to listen to their perspectives and being equitable/fair. It's not always an easy balance so definitely work with your team to figure out the right style
Although your team anticipates hearing from you, a healthy partnership calls for feedback to go both ways. Never let your direct reports believe that their interaction with you is solely focused on what they can provide for you.
Trust is the key to it all. Give them the benefit of the doubt if you want to establish a respectful connection with your direct reports and demonstrate your confidence in them. You want to create a setting where employees feel secure enough to try new things, fail, absorb lessons from their failures, and develop.
Avoid automatically blaming the individuals on your team when anything goes wrong, such as missed deadlines or failed goals. Instead, approach the issue from a systems perspective. This implies that you look at the issue holistically rather than selectively.
It's acceptable to call for help if you're a new manager. Keep in mind that you don't have to be an expert. Management and leadership skills must be developed over time. There will be many occasions when you feel overwhelmed, but always remember to step back.
Speak with your trusted peers, mentors, or management. Be careful not to allow the initial tension of your new position develop into the ongoing stress of burnout. Before it gets to this point, make yourself heard and request what you need. You should do this not only for your own benefit but also for the benefit of your team.
That's great news! Congrats on your new job, OP. Don't hesitate to ask for help if you need anything. That will also help you adjust.
Wow! Good to hear, OP! Be confident and trust your abilities! Good luck!
