From Zero to 20 People
Case Study: New manager’s bitter life.
Yes! Finally, you’ve got a management job.
You want it so badly. Now you have it. Wuhu.
However, you probably did not imagine you would get 20 people straight from the beginning. You thought you would take over your current team.
That is not the case. You’ve jumped directly into the hole. They don’t spare you or let you learn. You have to swim, baby.
My client Martina was terrified when she came to me:
“Oh, lord. I am in the company six years. Last two, I was pushing to get into a team management position. Guess what? I made it.
Yay quicly became nay!
I thought I would take over my team of six people. Instead, they decided to create a completely new team of 20 people. Imagine, 20 people!
I don’t know what I am going to do. I am bumped. How can I manage 20 people, my projects, offers, and strategic leadership?
I just don’t want to go to work tomorrow.”
How would you help her?
You have to start somewhere
When you think about a management job, you probably imagine how easy it is when you have a small team.
