Managing: new managers shouldn't be so hard on themselves
Moving from staff into management for the first time is
exciting--but it can also be scarey.
There's so much you don't know. Somehow managing looked so easy
from the outside, but now you actually have to do it, you
realize it's more complicated than you thought. Before, you had
certain tasks to accomplish and you knew you had the skills to
do them. You still have responsibility for those tasks, but now
you have to see that the work is done effectively by other
people. That's a whole new task in itself, and you're not sure
you're up to the job.
You also find that it's hard to concentrate on the planning that
is such an important part of managing, because emergencies large
and small seem to arise all the time and people keep running to
you to resolve them. The expression "When you're up to your neck
in alligators, it's hard to remember you were trying to drain
the swamp" might have been written for new managers!
In these early days, you must learn not to be too hard on
yourself. Management skills are not built into our human DNA--we
have to learn them as we go. Promise yourself you'll learn at
least one management lesson every day. Set aside a few moments
at the end of each day to think about that
day's lesson and how
you'll use it to improve your management skills. Sometimes these
lessons will be hard, but each one will give you something to
build on if you are willing to learn.
Each day will bring you new challenges, new experiences--and new
successes. It's easy to forget the successes and focus on all
the things that didn't go so well, so I recommend you keep a
diary of all your new experiences. Then, on those days when you
think becoming a manager was all a horrible mistake, you can
read over your diary and remind yourself just how far you've
come.
Becoming a manager is a journey. Like any journey, it offers
both good and bad experiences, enjoyable and not-so-enjoyable
aspects, positive and negative events. Just take it one stage at
a time, learn from each experience--good or bad--and you'll
gradually find yourself becoming more and more comfortable in
your management role.
