Managing analysts for the first time
After this you can run effective one-to-ones, set expectations, delegate analysis work and recognise the common mistakes of new managers.
Why it matters
If you choose management, your output becomes your team's output. The first shift is the hardest: stop doing the analysis yourself and start making others successful. Hold regular one-to-ones that belong to the report, not to status updates. Delegate whole problems, not tasks. The common trap for new analytics managers is staying the team's best SQL writer and becoming its bottleneck.
