The number one thing that all new managers struggle with is delegation. Is this surprising? Think about it, as an IC (individual contributor) you’re often praised for your ability to get your work done; to execute efficiently, seamlessly, and effectively. You’re given a task, a goal, or a challenge and you do it. Again and again. At some point, a promotion to management may be the reward for your hard work. You earned it! But, in some cases, no one tells you that what made you successful as an IC is not what will make you successful as a people manager.
