Hands down people management
Read crucial conversations. (Great book for having important conversations regardless of leadership level.) Something to know is that every level of leadership requires a deeper level of self awareness. Be open to learning and working through uncomfortable truths about yourself, all of which will help you grow as a person and leader. Consider what makes people like a manager may be different from what makes them like a friend. Get clear on your leadership values and vision before you get started. That can act as your guideposts.
Never assume people think like you even about what you would think are corporate basic common sense. People will surprise you everyday with what they say and do. The key is to be fair and transparent in how you treat people. Also know that people take what you say differently when you are a leader and it holds more weight. So choose your words wisely.
Just remember that leadership is not about being the best, it's about making everyone around you better
An easy read book is ‘The five dysfunctions of a team’
Ehhh it's ok. Honestly how to win friends and influence people was more useful in my opinion
Study Leadership Styles, decide which style currently fits you. ( It may change overtime) Find ways to exude that leadership style in your everyday life, so that it's naturally your persona at work.
Remember that what got you to your first leadership role won’t necessarily be what makes you a great leader in time. Now, you have to learn how to get work done through other people. That is a biggest adjustment going from IC to leader. Good luck
Great point right here!
Hey! Im a leadership coach and would be up for a free session to help out.
Understanding which hat to wear when. Leadership is not just managing people or being a “good/great” boss, you have organizational obligations and sometimes have go against the team or your own needs for the good of the company. Optics and concessions become your new classification levels and knowing what to do /say when can be exhausting. It is not all bad, but it is also not all that great dependent on your company.

Thinking about doing what’s right, vs doing what‘s easy. With the increased responsibility and exposure it’s easy to fall into the trap of not wanting to rock the boat and wanting everyone to like you (including your leadership and peers, in addition to direct reports). The hard conversations are the most important— don’t run away from them. The worst leaders I’ve ever worked with were “yes men/women.” At best, they were terrible at developing people because they wouldn’t give feedback. At worst, they were toxic to the organization, refusing to stand up for people or demanding that others fall in line around them.
Think about the best manager or leader you’ve ever had. What made them great?
People for sure are the biggest part…. Can be rewarding and hard at the same time. Another good book is Leaders Eat Last
Hire a career coach. They market themselves on LinkedIn all day.
Some are awful though
Having a group of people in charge is a challenge every day. Being a leader includes not mixing personal situations with work but always being a support for those who need empathy. Knowing how to delegate different work for the team and it is very important not to put the team together at a point of competition that causes division.

I would say, "make sure you are not trying to be associates' friend. Things change when you move up and those people that liked you before will expect special treatment. Then, they will betray you when they don't get it. Be ready and able to hold anyone accountable for thier actions, admit when you are wrong, let ppl know when they are doing well, never ask someone to do something you wouldn't do yourself and always always lead by example. Do not expect associates to be off thier phone and productive if they see you are not. Allow people thier pto, but hold strong on regular attendance. A person cannot do a good job if they are never there...I know this is a lot, but it is some basic rules from 20+ years in management. Good luck!@@
Actively listen. Pay attention to what is being said so you can repeat it back concisely to confirm your understanding of what is being said. This reduces miscommunication and confirms that you are paying attention. Always do what you say you are going to do. This builds trust.
Dealing with all the people problems.
Trying to be enthusiastic to your team about the really stupid shit the higher-ups come out with. Was once told “we need to be seen to be positive and believing in it, otherwise how will the rest of the team?”.
