For all managers there is a point in their career where they were working as an IC (individual contributor) and they made the step across the chasm to a managerial role. Maybe more people came into the company and there needed to be a manager, or someone left the team, or maybe they realized they wanted a change from what they were focused on. This is one of the hardest transitions that people make in their career and critical to get right if you want it to succeed. I’ll spend some time in this post discussing the transition and giving some perspective on how to make the transition successful!
