Course overview
Moving into management changes what success means: an individual contributor succeeds through personal output, while a manager succeeds through the team’s results. The work leans less on doing the tasks and more on guiding others and making the decisions that shape how people experience their jobs, which research ties directly to how engaged a team is and whether good people stay. Weighing that shift honestly, and practicing the skills before the title arrives, turns a daunting leap into a series of deliberate steps.
