First 30 Days as Manager

What the Organization asks for before its AI team starts work.

The situation

Promoted to manager on Monday. Internal promotion.

Team

Four people. I have worked alongside all of them for two years.

The complication

One of them applied for this job and did not get it

Experience managing

None. I was the best individual contributor, which is apparently why.

Training offered

None

What I am worried about

The first team meeting, and Priya

What my manager said

Just keep doing what you are doing. Which is not helpful.

Timeframe

I started three days ago
