Challenges for New Managers
By
Stein, Guido
Becoming a manager usually means achieving a professional and social position that brings with it certain rights and privileges other jobs cannot offer. The position gives money and rank, but more importantly it also entails obligations and responsibilities. It is important to understand that these obligations and responsibilities are the essential part of management, while money and rank are just the derived benefits.
As in other professional managers are not born but made. However, there are certain people whose character and personality give them a natural predisposition for the job.
The paper reviews some of the most important yet frequently overlooked aspects of becoming a manager. Assuming this position involves a major personal and professional transformation which, like many practical aspects of life, is more difficult to describe in theory than to experience in practice.
