The making of a manager – What to Do When Everyone Looks to You

The making of a manager

Congratulations, you’re a manager! After you pop the champagne, accept the shiny new title, and step into this thrilling next chapter of your career, the truth descends like a fog: you don’t really know what you’re doing.

That’s exactly how Julie Zhuo felt when she became a rookie manager at the age of 25. She stared at a long list of logistics–from hiring to firing, from meeting to messaging, from planning to pitching–and faced a thousand questions and uncertainties. How was she supposed to spin teamwork into value? How could she be a good steward of her reports’ careers? What was the secret to leading with confidence in new and unexpected situations?

Now, having managed dozens of teams spanning tens to hundreds of people, Julie knows the most important lesson of all: great managers are made, not born. If you care enough to be reading this, then you care enough to be a great manager.

The Making of a Manager is a modern field guide packed everyday examples and transformative insights, including:

* How to tell a great manager from an average manager (illustrations included)
* When you should look past an awkward interview and hire someone anyway
* How to build trust with your reports through not being a boss
* Where to look when you lose faith and lack the answers

Whether you’re new to the job, a veteran leader, or looking to be promoted, this is the handbook you need to be the kind of manager you wish you had.

¡Felicitaciones, eres gerente! Después de sacar el champán, aceptar el nuevo título brillante y adentrarse en el próximo capítulo emocionante de tu carrera, la verdad desciende como una bruma: no sabe lo que está haciendo.

Así se sintió Julie Zhuo cuando se convirtió en gerente debutante a la edad de 25 años, mirando una larga lista de logística, desde la contratación hasta el despido, desde la reunión hasta el mensajero, pasando por el lanzamiento y la planificación, y mil preguntas e incertidumbres. ¿Cómo debería convertir el trabajo en equipo en valor? ¿Cómo podría ser una buena persona a cargo de su carrera como reportero? ¿Cuál fue el secreto para conducir con seguridad en situaciones nuevas e inesperadas?

Ahora, después de dirigir docenas de equipos de decenas de cientos de personas, Julie sabe la lección más importante: son grandes gerentes, no nacen. Si te importa lo suficiente como para leer esto, solo tienes que ser un gran administrador.

When you say ‘no’ to something, you’re usually saying ‘yes’ to something else that matters more at the moment. So instead of feeling guilty, let’s celebrate that! What’s something you said no to this past week, and what did you say yes to instead?
