Managing business operations and people is a daunting task
in itself, while moving from a specialist or technical role
to one which involves general and people management
responsibilities comes with even more unique challenges. As
a specialist, you have come to depend mostly on yourself for
the effective delivery of job related objectives. However,
once you become a manager, you are responsible for achieving
results through others, managing workplace dynamics, and
juggling the management of day to day business operations
with managing people needs, emotions and aspirations.
