Transition from Technical Individual Contributor to Manager (Udemy.com)

I wish I had this training prior to becoming a manager. It would have made the transition so much easier giving me the tools to go forward instead of just trying to figure it out.

In going through this class I was able to identify some of the strategies my previous and current management have used to get results from myself and team. Learning the thoughts behind them has led me to deeper understanding of what it means to be a manager and new way to develop my skills going forward to continue growing as a leader. The instructor is engaging and knows how to speak in a direct, clear, and understandable tone to make sure the lessons sink in. Having the workbook to test out some of the strategies was immensely helpful once I was able to understand how to approach the instructions.

+ Good production quality + Covers most topics needed to be a manager + Brief summary for each section - Very basic and superficial - Some important concepts are touched in passing in barely relevant places I guess this is everything you can do within this relatively short time frame of 2.5h hours. It is really an overview of everything managers do, but barely a good explanation of how to actually do it and why it has to be done this way.

Lacking self assessment tasks, no way to validate answers for exercises in resources section, some parts mentioned in the video were missing in resources. Other than that this course provides good and versatile introduction to technical management.

Useful high-level overview of tips and tricks for getting started and then going further. Would've appreciated additional details on some items (or maybe just a glossary in the workbook) for some terms that weren't familiar.

Found it to be a good starting overview of what to expect getting into such a new professional role. The workbook in the resource files was confusing to me as to the setup. It feels like the workbook was never finished to accompany the course? A pdf rather than a word file would also been a better choice.

This is one of the best starter course, nicely done. I'm a visual learner and so in terms of delivery I would find it more helpful to have the information displayed in a slide during the lecture and have the instructor zoomed out in a PIP window. That might be helpful to others too.

1. Good content and explanation. 2. Would be great if we can get the content in form of PPTs. 3. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the reference book whose reference was used during the lecture.

Good lessons! Only complaint was that there were a few techniques mentioned throughout the course without a solid definition on what they are which I had to look up separately. 360 degree feedback, Socratic method, etc.

Contents are great for learning to be a manager in general. Would like to hear more about the transition from technical individual perspective, like what are the edges or shortcomings of being technical lead turning manager.
