06_Impatience and learning for management positions.

After graduating from college, I left my first company after about four and a half years.
I found myself commuting to my second company the day after I left.

I am now working for the second company, and there is a reason why I decided to change jobs here.
I wanted to learn more about member development and management, which I had a little bit of experience in at the first company, in order to increase my options in the age of VUCA.
Fortunately, his experience at his first company was useful, and he was successful in his job search.
Five months after joining the company, at the age of 27, he was appointed to a management position.

Many of the staff at the assignment were very experienced, as if they had worked there for more than 10 years, and I was younger than any of them. I had only one supervisor of my own and 16 subordinates.

Most importantly, I was a management novice🔰.

At first, my team members were more knowledgeable and experienced than me,
Comparing myself with only one supervisor, I felt inferior, thinking that I was not good enough.
Still, I thought that I could contribute to the company by acquiring management skills, so I went to the library after work, bought books I liked on Amazon, and read management books every day.

I gradually learned to work as an assistant manager,
Little by little, I learned to do my job as an assistant manager, and the number of times I had to bother the members gradually decreased.
One by one, I was able to do more and more things, and I felt myself growing.
In this way, I contributed to the organization as a member of the team. I was supposed to be a member of the organization.

One day during an evaluation interview, my supervisor called me in and asked me this.
How did you perform, not as an individual, but as an assistant manager?”

I realized my mistake here, though he did not said to me everything.

“Personal growth is something you can do on your own. If you don't have enough of it, you should work on it. But your role is not effort that.

It sounded like this to me.

My role to fulfill was not to stand alone as an assistant manager, but to lead, support, and deliver results so that the team could achieve results.

I had somehow become a means to an end, thinking that “my growth = the growth of the team.
I was less knowledgeable and inexperienced than anyone else, and in my first management position, I was in a hurry, misunderstood, and, moreover, ashamed to admit that I wanted to be praised somewhere for my efforts.

The company is not your parent. Don't expect them to spoil you.
Just working hard means nothing.
You have to produce results.

It was a good experience for me to realize my embarrassing mistake of being spoiled by my new job, so I will write it down and remember it.
