In this episode of Great Practices, I’m talking with Anne Simmons, a Sr. Training and Development Specialist who focuses on technical training topics, soft skills and leadership development through all delivery methods. Listen in as Anne digs into the age-old question of “if someone is good at their job as an individual contributor, does it mean that they are going to be a good manager as well?” Find out the assumptions companies make, what skills and traits someone should have before moving into management, as well as what challenges that a new manager will face.

Plus, find out why having some street-cred will make the transition from individual contributor to manager that much smoother and what mistakes to avoid as you begin day one of your new job as Manager.
