- Synopsis
- In the first six months, new managers must confront the challenge of reconciling their expectations of the job with the realities of managerial work and with the expectations of their subordinates. The next challenge they face is accepting full accountability for the performance of their units and stepping more fully into their role as manager. Author Linda A. Hill followed nineteen new managers through their first year, gathering data about the managerial transition. This chapter joins these managers as they begin to focus on their bosses' expectations and continue their efforts to shed the attitudes and behaviors that made them exceptional individual contributors in favor of a more managerial identity. This chapter was originally published as Chapter 3 of "Becoming a Manager: How New Managers Master the Challenges of Leadership."
