As an engineer you're evaluated on what you accomplish. But as an engineering manager, you're evaluated on the accomplishments of an entire team. Effective management is about creating a productive environment, equipping your team, and making decisions that allow other become successful.And this difference is skills sets has become a stumbling block for countless makers aspiring to move into a managerial role.
