Kit Barber talks to newly promoted managers about common mistakes: avoiding hard conversations, redoing your team's work at night because explaining feels harder, and staying stuck doing tasks instead of managing. A 90-day plan beats guessing.
The person you think has it all figured out right now is Googling something they're sure that they should already know. And that person is also you. And that's not an insult, that's just the management job that nobody warned you about. And here's the thing, that doesn't make you a fraud, it makes you completely normal. The trap is simple. You're brilliant at your actual job, so they promoted you out of it. And the new job is a totally different job that nobody bothered to teach you. So you avoid the awkward conversation. You redo someone's work at midnight because it's quicker than explaining it. You stay stuck in the doing because the doing is the bit that you are sure of. The managers who climb out of that aren't cleverer than you. They just had a plan for the first 90 days instead of guessing their way through it. That plan is a course now. It's 8 short modules, a workbook, me walking you through all of it. It's £99, it's one payment, and then it's done. The link is below. Stop guessing.
