From Top Performer to Manager
Senior management often promotes top performers into management positions, but is this always the best choice? While this may seem to be the obvious path, the skills required to be a top performer are quite different from the skills needed to be an effective manager.
The objectives for this topic are to:
Reflect on your own managerial path.
Determine which characteristics are important when filling a managerial position.
Discuss how you might better help individuals prepare for the role of manager.
