4 Tips on Transitioning into Management

Picture of Lindsey Pollak

Dear Lindsey,

I recently received two master’s degrees (MBA, 2008 and MSA, 2010) after many years of working in state government. Now, I am ready to explore more opportunities in the private and public sector.

If I’ve never functioned in a leadership capacity, will it be difficult to branch out in management?

Obtaining my master’s has helped me realize I have a lot to offer and I’m motivated to share the knowledge and years of experience if given the opportunity to do so.

Would you please provide some guidance on how to accomplish this goal?

 

Thank you,
Beverly
