I particularly liked your comments about practice and support. I am still surprised by how often great doers are promoted only to be set up to fail because they don’t have safe practice and support. Even companies with minimal resources can identify a manager or two to share lessons learned. That along with coaching and inspiring will help a new manager succeed, and eventually be an example to others as well.

Great advice. The one phrase that deserves attention is “inspiring them.” So many managers and managers of managers don’t get that this is a part of the job. Taskmasters who assure that the job gets done certainly receive their bonus and a pat on the back from the appropriate executive. But too often, the cost is burnt out employees who feel used and under appreciated. Tapping into their intrinsic motivation to inspire performance they are proud of is where the best managers focus their efforts.
