The transition from individual contributor to

manager represents a profound

psychological adjustment — a

transformation — as managers contend with their new responsibilities.

New managers must learn how to lead others, to win trust and respect, to motivate, and to strike the right balance

between delegation and control. It is a transition many new

managers fail to make.
