Technical Manpower Management Training Course

Transitioning from the role of a technical professional into the role of a technical manager can carry with it certain advantages. You are most likely already familiar with the processes, systems, and day-to-day operations of the work performed by your team. However, this transition also carries some inherent challenges since, as a technical professional, you most likely haven’t had to deal with the ’human’ side of the business: managing people, establishing credibility and trust with your employees, and leading a group of individuals toward common goals. This learning path describes strategies you can use to prepare for a role as a technical manager. It covers the key competencies required for performing as a technical manager, as well as how to establish new relationships with former peers and which leadership styles are most effective for different situations. In addition, the path introduces challenges individuals may face as a technical manager. Finally, it describes how to build trust with and motivate the technical professionals you manage.
