So I currently work at a non-profit where I started as a rank and file employee and worked my way into Management. I don't have any formal management experience but I got my Master in Public Administration and so I understand theory, but mostly in a government context.
I was hoping to get feedback from everyone here on how to be a good manager. I will over see a small team of specialist and I plan on being a manager with a focus on collaboration and supporting my team – giving them the resources to perform their job well.
I'm a little nervous about it and I can be a little socially awkward when I'm uncomfortable. I know as time passes I will be more comfortable and confident in my ability to successfully lead a team but if you have any tips I'm all ears.
Thanks!
