In addition to others already mentioned, "Becoming a Manager," by Linda Hill: follows a group of new managers for a year, discussing how their understanding of their role changes. Absolutely great - for a long time I kept a home copy and a work copy. Follow-up "Being the Boss" is also good. And "The Leadership Pipeline," by Ram Charan, Stephen Drotter, James Noel: what you need to learn/change to succeed at each different level of management.

At first blush, this feels a little like the many blog blurbs for “The Leadership Pipeline” by Charan and Drotter. To be fair, this is richer than most, an independent take on something intrinsic.

For comparison, a couple other generic watered down summaries of the book:

https://www.mudamasters.com/en/change-management-leadership/...

https://www.cleverism.com/leadership-pipeline-model/

As there are dozens of these, maybe it’s some sort of right of passage for blogging on LinkedIn?

The main takeaway for me from the book that doesn’t seem captured by the re-blogs, but is in the second paragraph here, is that the transitions are discontinuous. The leader is not sharpening tools in a tool belt, but changing out tool belts.

In this piece, author writes, “shift your mindset, and focus on building new skills that are often very different from the skills that made you successful in your previous role.”

To put more bluntly:

The leader must stop doing things that worked well when adjusting the system at a different scope, and now intervene completely differently.

Highly recommend the book “The Leadership Pipeline” written by Ram Charan. The book focuses on developing a pipeline through which leaders within an organization move and describes accountabilities at each level, along with red flags that indicate that a manager at a given level isn’t operating correctly at said level. Very helpful in understanding what happens (or should be happening) at each level.

Ram Charan is a well respected author and consultant, who has according to Wikipedia consulted with some of the largest businesses in the US.
