Senior management often promotes top performers into management positions, but is this always the best choice? While this may seem to be the obvious path, the skills required to be a top performer are quite different from the skills needed to be an effective manager.

The objectives for this exploration are to:

  • Reflect on your own managerial path.
  • Determine which characteristics are important when filling a managerial position.
  • Discuss how you might better help individuals prepare for the role of manager.
