Why is that something you want to do?
If it’s just the money, don’t. Explore other options that involve people but not managing them.

Things to keep in mind:

- people leadership requires a HIGH EQi.
Brush up on your leadership and emotional intelligence skills. Get a therapist. If your manager doesn’t also coach and support you - hire a coach for coaching and support. You will need it.

- managing entry level employees is like running an adult kindergarten center. Prepare yourself for people for shenanigans.

- if you can leverage your education to fast track your ascension to managing leaders instead - give it a shot but this make clear with your leader when creating your professional development plan.

- Set and communicate your boundaries clearly from the get go. iDK if you are currently salaried or not but when you are salaried a lot more will be thrown on your plate with the understanding that you will get it done, even if it means you work 60 hours a week for the same pay.

- don’t isolate yourself. Network and form relationships with your peers and higher ups. Visibility and execution are what get you noticed.

You CAN be that leader that people want to work with. 1st, self assessment is required. Be honest: As a leader,have you engaged in/accepted Attribution Bias with a dash of gender &/or race bias? (See the pic) This is something we all need to be aware of as we lead our teams, provide performance feedback, & model the behaviors we'd like to see more of on our teams. Be on the lookout for Attribution Bias in yourself & on your team. It's a hindrance to creating a high-performing, inclusive culture.
