How did you first get your first experience as a people leader? I have some friends that would like to transition from an Individual Contributor to a People Manager but are finding it very difficult without any prior experience. Any advice?

I took on various project leadership roles, so I wasn't a manager of a team per se but I was gaining leadership experience by being in charge of the project delegation and keeping everyone on deadline. I would speak to your manager!

thanks!

That can be a little tricky, as you always have to be careful about stepping on someone's toes. But if you volunteer to take on some projects or tasks, you'll begin to be seen as possessing leadership qualities. And if you play your cards right, you'll start being given more responsibility. If you can handle that well, you'll be on your way to leadership.

thank you!
