6 things nobody tells you
about your first year as a manager
Swipe through. Number 4 took me two years to learn.
Your job is no longer to be the best at the work. It’s to make the work better for everyone else.
You will miss being an expert. That feeling of “I’m bad at this” means you’re learning the new job.
Say the hard thing early, and kindly. Feedback gets heavier the longer you carry it.
Your team watches what you do at 6 p.m., not what you say at 9 a.m. Go home.
One-on-ones are their meeting, not yours. Ask “what’s in your way?” and then stay quiet.
You don’t need all the answers. “I don’t know yet, let’s find out” builds more trust than a guess.
Which one do you wish you’d known sooner?
