I have the opportunity to apply for an internal manager role, which I've been recommended for, so I know I have a good shot at it, but I've never worked in an official capacity as a manager, with direct reports. I feel confident I could learn the ropes, and want to do it well.
Applications will likely open soon, and I'd like to get a clear idea of what it's like to manage a team. They are graphic designers and IT types, of which I have a familiarity and understand the tools they use, etc.
What would you recommend I prepare for, in terms of interview questions, day to day as a manager, what you want from a manager, anything really.
I appreciate any advice!
