This week we hear from teammates Patty Monaco, Facility Administrator in Carmel, NY, and Michael Kritschgau, Senior Director for DaVita Clinical Research, on the topic of transitioning from “bud to boss” (aka from a peer to manager role). They give us great insights on their journeys from accepting manager roles both inside DaVita and outside. They explain the phases of this type of transition, both the good and the tough emotions associated, and their advice on how to manage these relationships.

Patty’s Tip: Don’t play favorites.

Michael’s Tip: Make a point to have that personal interaction with your teammates.
