Building Managers: Implementing The Plan

October 25, 2021

In this episode we present a practical, step-by-step implementation guide for transitioning engineer's career to the engineering management track. These steps include:

Confirm that the engineer has right motivation.
Confirm with your boss and HR the feasibility of training a new manager.
Tell them that you will announce their career transition to the team.
Talk to the team on 1:1 basis and share the transition. Share why they will be a good fit.
Share the same in the public forum such as staff meeting.
Prepare and share the implementation plan with your direct.
Drive your direct's guided self-study for 8-9 months, see resources.
Manage their practice for the remainder of the year.
Officially complete transition with HR during company's official promotion period.

You can find the resources for guided self-study, and post-transition, continuous management study materials here.
