My advice for new managers: Focus more on listening to your employees than telling them as you begin. This includes asking them to tell you about the business, when discussing performance and when solving problems.
I could go on and on, but you asked for one. :-)
Pamela Villars First, Cheri, I want you to know I really enjoy your blog. I get it delivered to my inbox at work, and (when I have time to read it - 50%), you give me new takes on things to think about.

Emergence Consulting has a new booklet out on "Advice For New Managers." What is YOUR advice for new managers? Post it to our Facebook Wall by Friday at 5pm and Cheri's top 2 picks will get a free copy of the book.
