When someone comes up into management hopefully they get some training and instruction when taking the job.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hopefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This provides them with the nuts and bolts on what to do and when to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there is one thing that all the training in the world can’t give a new manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That one thing is experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Experience is its own teacher – it’s the school of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The school of life is one big long lab-session and we’re the students and the subject being taken apart and put back together time and time again.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 When the school of life is done with us, the diploma we get is called wisdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This wisdom is really what makes this job of managing not only bearable but satisfying and nurturing in a lot of different ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s the wisdom that the people we manage are in their own classroom of life learning. That we can be of service to them. That we can help them grow as a team member or even help them when we uphold clear expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wisdom that when we are a true positive force, managing toward the best outcomes for the co-op and the whole team, we can end up with negative push back (sometimes a lot) by some and not a molecule of it needs to be taken personally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wisdom that serving in a position of authority is not a selfish, self-promoting thing.  It’s a path of taking responsibility for the future and an awareness of the necessity to tell the truth and act on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And overall, it’s the wisdom that someone has to do this and that someone is me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all the training I do, I wish there was a way for me to provide a hack or shortcut to cultivate wisdom.  I wish it could be that simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I can say in a training is this – wisdom is its own reward and the only way to get it is to hang in there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being a new manager can sometimes feel like an uncertain, dark, confining path of toil, yet the growing wisdom is there like the feeling of sunlight and a deep breathing of fresh air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wisdom doesn’t wait for us because we took a training, it waits for us because we have a willingness to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good for you… and that’s good for us all.<\/p>\n\n\n
