Description
Hey, you got promoted to manager! Congratulations! But... moving from an individual contributor role to a managerial one is more challenging than any engineering problem you may have faced. Managing people is a lot different from managing machines!
I'm Frank Kane, and I'm here to help you through it. I made the transition from software engineer, to manager, and ultimately senior manager at Amazon's headquarters in Seattle. And I did it while maintaining the highest review ratings and low team turnover in a very challenging environment.
