Unfortunately, many technicians enter management without the skills and insights needed to succeed in their new jobs.
Technicians can be valuable assets.
They are usually self-motivated, strive for perfection and often have great energy, focus and tenacity. On the other hand, they sometimes have trouble working with other people, and their priorities may conflict with the company's strategic objectives. For many managers, working effectively with individuals based off-site means learning a whole new style of management. Whether managing telecommuters or leading a virtual team, the virtual workplace requires changes in the way most managers work. Plan the interview.
