SUCCESSFUL TRANSITION TO REMARKABLE
LEADERSHIP BY KEVIN EIKENBERRY AND GUY HARRIS
The transition from individual contributor to
manager represents a profound
psychological adjustment — a
transformation — as managers contend with their new responsibilities.
New managers must learn how to lead others, to win trust and respect, to motivate, and to strike the right balance
between delegation and control. It is a transition many new
managers fail to make.
