THREE TIPS TO KICK-START YOUR MANAGEMENT CAREER
Going from employee to manager is like taking a quantum leap.
Sometimes it's the most natural way to proceed forward, other
times it takes time, patience and a good deal of planning.
Tip No. 1: Look forward.
There are many opportunities available to you, but you may not
be able to see them. That's because opportunities normally
aren't there unless you manufacture them. If you want to move
into management you'll have to understand how you can better
contribute to a company in a management role. Knowing yourself
is the key here. You may be a whiz-kid in your department, but
will you be a good manager? Your technical knowledge and
expertise may win you that managing role, but is that what you
really want?
Tip. No. 2: Understand the future.
What seems like a good place to be, may not be once you get
there. The industry changes all the time and by the time you win
your promotion you may find that the 'next big thing' has
shifted and moved in another direction. To avoid missing the
boat, research your industry, speak to managers, read the
papers. Always stay on top of

any new developments in your field
of expertise. Figure out where the future lies and then
strategize on how to achieve a promotion in that direction. You
strategy may include more study or training. If so, there's no
time to waste.
Tip No. 3: Build a people network.
Don't be shy. Talk to people. Management is 90% people-related.
It's about communicating and building relationships. Talking
also reveals how passionate you are about your job. In most
cases, it isn't enough to just be good at your job. People need
to know that you are good at your job and people need to like
you being good at your job. And it's not just enough that your
immediate boss likes you, but your boss's boss and other
departmental bosses need to like you, too. To step up into
management you need to have a reputation that precedes you. So,
start talking.
