Things you want to share with P&B

Recommended Posts

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.

Go for it, I guarantee you’re more qualified than you think. Nothing wrong with being outside of your comfort zone for a while.

Thanks folks, you are right. There is no better way to make big decisions than basing them on P & B advice 😂

This.  Can’t do a worse job that Caldwell.

This is absolutely true.

Not being overconfident is a good sign imo, especially when it comes to managing people for the first time. Much better to work your way in by listening rather than barking orders on your first day.

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.

How come you decided to follow Aberdeen? Most of the spambots gravitate to the Junior teams. Do you get along to Pittodrie much? 

Their username suggests they are a East End regular which is confusing

The secret to management is surely treating people under you with decency and respect, much in the way you'd want to be treated.

Being genuine with people is always the key.
