Managing for Results

Perhaps the greatest leap in a manager’s career is the first one into management. You have to let go of the comfort of being an effective individual contributor and embrace the concept of succeeding through the work of others. These others are dependent on you for direction, coaching, discipline and energy. Their success is your success; and it is your job to ensure that they do not fail.
