From IC to Manager - The Complete Promotion Guide
You're about to promote your best individual performer into management, and you have no idea whether "great at their own job" actually means "ready to lead other people." Most companies find out it doesn't, eight weeks in, after two peer transfer requests and an awkward escalation to someone above you.From IC to Manager - The Complete Promotion Guide is a structured 5-lesson system for the highest-stakes, lowest-process decision most operations leaders repeat every year, promoting an IC into management.After taking the course, you can: Walk through three conversations that determine whether the first 90 days go well. Get a reversal framework if things don't work out as expected. Get a 90-day tracker for performance evaluation and decision-making. Who It is for: Operations Manager/Director of Operations. Team leads promoting their first direct report. HR Business Partners supporting a manager through a promotion. Founders/CEOs making their first internal management hire. VP of Operations building out a management layer for the first time. Frequently Asked Questions1] What if I've already promoted someone and it's already not going well? You can use the Reversal Decision Framework in the course that walks through the three options - Extend/Redefine/Unwind.2] Is the course valuable only for first-time managers, or does it work for experienced ones too? The conversations and tracker work for any new management transition, but the content is specifically useful for someone managing for the first time.3] Can I use the peer-reset script if I'm not promoting someone, just changing their role informally? Yes. The script is built around any authority shift between former peers, not strictly a formal title change.4] How long does the course take to complete? The five lessons run roughly 30-60 minutes in total. You can go through the course across the actual 90-day promotion window rather than reading it all at once.
