Becoming a Manager: 6 things you should know
<ol>
<li><strong>You do not have to be a manager to be successful.</strong> Many people assume that the only path to more money and stature is managing a team.</li>
<li><strong>Remember that once you become a manager, you’ll stop doing the thing that made you successful in the first place.</strong> You’ll no longer be doing the things you do really well—instead you’ll be digging into how others do them, helping them improve.</li>
<li><strong>Becoming a manager is a discipline.</strong> Management is a learned skill, not a talent. You’re not born with it.</li>
<li><strong>Being exacting and expecting great work is not micromanagement.</strong> Your job is to make sure the team produces high-quality work.</li>
<li><strong>Honesty is more important than style.</strong> You can be successful with any style as long as you never shy away from respectfully telling the team the uncomfortable, hard truth that needs to be said.</li>
<li><strong>Don’t worry that your team will outshine you.</strong> In fact, it’s your goal.</li>
