Bairnardo Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Got offered a really good new job. Two pay grades higher than present but I feel totally underqualified, I have to do things like manage people which I have never done before. I’ll also have to move to Glasgow. Got to decide whether to take it or not. I hope I can manage a team better than Levein can. Absolutely take it. If you want to climb higher you have to start a new job you havent done before at some point. Every work place is filled with chancers anyway these days so if you are actually aware of the skills you still need to learn it puts you ahead of many right off the bat. Plus, you have the guiding hand of P&B. Just make sure you come straight here with difficult personnel issues. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much better to work your way in by listening rather than barking orders on your first day. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no better way to make big decisions than basing them on P & B advice This is absolutely true. You'll be fine. I started managing people for the first time in Nov last year after laying it on thick in my interview. Unfortunately shortly after I started my boss asked me to give out a bollocking so it did look like I was one of those who had come in and thought mouthing off was how to get respect. But we got past that. I have come to see that the only secret to managing is having (or appearing to have) confidence. Say what you need to say when you need to say it, and the rest of the time keep quiet and do your other jobs. That simple. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
