Last friday is the complete cycle of 1 month as manager. Within this short time period, I've actually learn a lot more than being a team leader for the past few years. When you are a team leader, your circle of information, task delegation, etc is only within the team and project. You hardly involves in management type of work such as negotiation (there is but very minor), contract discussion, planning, middle-man between the team, supplier, and customer, and many mores.
It is a tough job and I'd never expected this tough although it is a small company. It get even tougher when it is really new environment. Added with managing and leadership skill that I need to learn is also new things related to this works which absolutely different world than I had before. I almost felt quitting the job when think of the burden that I carried at the moment. Luckily when I when back home, my lovely wife (whom always listen to my complaint) mention to me that this will make me stronger if I can survived ... hmmm..
