“Help, I’m an accidental manager.” These are the management secrets you are never taught

Summary

Laura Ashley-Timms writing for Fast Company Magazine makes the following points:

• People management is a distinct skill that you have to learn and develop.
• Accidental managers can adopt these strategies to manage people effectively.

1. Seek out ways to further develop their people management skills.
2. Adjust their mindset from being a doer to being an enabler of others.
3. Learn to actively listen to what their team has to say.

Worth noting the Peter Principle:

The Peter Principle states that employees are promoted based on their current role's performance rather than their ability to handle new responsibilities, leading to promotion to a level of incompetence. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/p/peter-principle.asp
