Up and running
Most management roles will require you to hit the ground running, so it’s important you know what to expect of the role. You’ve accepted the job, so own it. Own it all – the title, the responsibility, the pay, and establish yourself as a strong, confident leader. If you’re able, speak to previous occupants of the role to learn what challenges they faced – you won’t regret it.
