Management issues, Transition from individual contributor to manager

The decision-making aspect of this area (transition from individual contributor to manager) is very interesting. It seems as though the individual contributor has to be a very high performer to know the level of work that other people should be contributing/performing. He/she probably sees it as a problem area that needs fixing and sees that a certain type of manager is needed. He/she probably wants to come up with ways (or maybe already thought of ways) to get people to achieve the level of performance needed. Also, when I read this post, I thought of an attitude this individual contributor may have. What leads a person to decide that others cannot perform their job as well?

About THIS BLOG

I created this blog to capture my thoughts and ideas and to practice writing. Why practice writing? I was on a break from my PhD and not writing much. I needed to continue writing regularly – I wrote and submitted weekly assignments/papers.
I also track my mental health using this blog.

I am currently working on publishing my papers in academic journals. Click the ‘paperforpublishing’ tag in the tags section below for my last status update. My main area of specialization is usability/user experience. Click on the ‘usability’ tag to view my posts, including ideas, on usability.
