Management: Basic Principles for Business Development Leaders

One of the most rewarding parts of my job is to coach the art of effective management. Often employees are promoted to be a manager because they’ve been good in their previous position. In other words, the skills that allowed someone to succeed—to get promoted and to assume a leadership role—are not typically the same set of skills they will need to succeed in management.  This presents an interesting challenge for companies because their first-time managers—whose continued success is the lifeblood of the company’s future—are often not prepared for the new role they are assuming.

Basic Principles for Business Development Leaders

Excerpt from Part 1 . One of the most rewarding parts of my job (as Co-CEO of TransPerfect) is to coach the art of effective management. Often employees are promoted to be a manager because they’ve been good in their previous position. In other words, the skills that allowed someone to succeed—to get promoted and to assume a leadership role—are not typically the same set of skills they will need to succeed in management. This presents an interesting challenge for companies because their first-time managers—whose continued success is the lifeblood of the company’s future—are often not prepared for the new role they are assuming.
