> 1) So, you've become a manager. Now what? +1
As one who made the decision long ago never to become a manager (and no regrets), this is a great topic for those who are not managers, but might be asked to become one. Best to have an answer and a plan for how to become a good one if the answer is yes, while keeping a Plan B for transitioning back if that might be of interest. Some love managing. I suspect many don't know until they try it. While becoming a manager is not completely a one-way door, the longer one stays there, the more painful the transition back can be. And often enough I hear those who have become managers say that they have to give the fun work to those they manage. So make it a deliberate choice, not just the consequence of a promotion. Would be nice to see a little more about career path issues at SD Ruby. Good start. Scott Olmsted -- SD Ruby mailing list [email protected] http://groups.google.com/group/sdruby
