The technology workplace is intense. It constantly challenges both new and established leaders to be successful in untried
territory and on shifting ground.
Kelly personified the perfect Tester two years ago. She excelled at her projects and has been a strong individual leader. This year she was rewarded with a team of direct reports. Instead of debugging software, Kelly is now trying to crack the code on ways to keep her seven-member (and growing) group on track and motivated. She's not sure of the best ways to keep the team focused on success and high quality, when her company has changed direction three times in two years and key employees come and go. Her manager, while supportive, isn't much help because he too is new to management. Kelly is starting to get some negative feedback from Sam, one of her direct reports. He suggests she "just doesn't understand how to manage my talents." Kelly is wondering whether becoming a manager was the right move for her.
