I'd love to understand what everyone wished they knew before becoming a people manager. This question was recently asked across a professional networking group, and the answers were fascinating - would love to know what the thoughts from this group are! Some of the themes from the networking group:
- how critical yet important early crucial conversations are - and how to learn how to have them
- learning how to manage effectively across different personalities on the team
- what is expected performance wise while ramping if this is an internal promotion into leadership
