I've been an IC for 8 years now with experience in some big tech companies, and just over a year ago joined a startup that's scaled massively. I've never missed a yearly quota in any company, and will finish this FY with the startup on 200%+.
I've been working with a lot of different directors and leaders, and even our CRO for the the guts of 9 months now on my development towards becoming a manager and it's pretty much just waiting for a role to come up in Q1 at this stage.
I'm pretty hyped, I'm doing some coaching with reps in other regions and love seeing them do well especially when it's deals I've support on. I think I'm pretty well suited to the role.
My question is what's the worst mistakes you've seen people in my position make when they move into management?
Preemptively wondering what could go wrong..
