You try to get your manager

Friday, May 7, 2010

I found it a relief to know this option exists, although it isn’t as easy as it sounds. But if you have a green manager who does work with you to get things happening and management companies approach you try to get your manager placed within that company. If you’re manager keep an eye out for this possibility.

If you have a potential manager in mind that’s inexperienced ask lots of questions. Ask why that individual wants to be a manager and what she or he sees as their main responsibilities. Find out what contacts they have and how they intend to use them. Set up various scenarios that might arise and ask how they would handle them. Make sure that you respect their judgment.
