Transition

I'm taking this course on Management. I find it really interesting because I can relate it to my own work. For example:

The Transition to Management Initial Expectations

Manager's initial expectation:
Be the boss
Formal authority
Manage tasks
Job is not managing people.

After six months as a manager:
Initial expectations were wrong (no shit)
Fast pace (really?)
Heavy workload (gasp!)
Job is to be problem-solver and trouble-shooter for subordinates (in other words: everyone is stupid).
