Congratulations - you have just been promoted to a leadership role! Now what?? Once the dust settles, you realize your new job is much harder than anything you've done before. Suddenly things look pretty different compared to what you thought it would be like. Is this really what you signed up for?

This talk is an introduction for new managers on how to ease into their new role. How to start this new chapter of their career. Obviously, there is no silver bullet, finding your own way just takes its time. However, there are some principles and guidelines that can support you through it. This talk summarizes insights I collected during my own personal journey as a young manager, as well as from the young team leaders I had the opportunity to coach, mentor and manage on my day to day job.
