What to prepare for with a first time manager? Just got offered a role where the new team is being formed by a brand new manager, literal first time manager.

Anything I should prepare for, set boundaries on?

Trust your team until they give you reason not to. I had a 1st time manager a few years ago who micromanaged until we gently trained him not to. You can’t know everything about everything, but should be able to update your manager on s high level.

That’s the one thing I’m afraid of. Being micromanaged. I’m leaving my current role because of that, don’t want to walk into that again.

Set boundaries on your bias.

Huh? My assumption is that they don’t know how to manager, which they don’t cause they’ve never managed anyone as they said. So, my ask is what I should prepare for.

Boundaries can mean, I turn off my work after 5 PM.

Seems as though you may have read the tone wrong.
