Extended data:
1, self-cognitive preparation. I am introverted, only like learning technology, and I am not good at communicating with people. It is difficult to communicate with customers. Engineers who have been engaged in technical work for many years and are not adapted to management positions will have an inertial thinking that they are only good at dealing with machines and not good at management. Therefore, on the one hand, they yearn for management positions, but on the other hand, they are not confident.
In fact, technology and management are indistinguishable. The managers of companies that rely entirely on technology development are drawn from excellent technical talents, and most project management work also needs technical ability as the basis.
Moreover, the work of senior engineers must be interspersed with teamwork, new employee guidance, goal setting and management, process management and other aspects. It can be said that they are already half "project managers" but have no "birthright" of managers. So we should have full confidence in ourselves.
2. knowledge preparation. With confidence, knowledge is indispensable. You can read management books's books, such as management by objectives, time management, leadership, project management and so on, to learn about management experience and theory. Management is a profound knowledge, which can only be improved by combining knowledge with practice.
For project management, there are many theoretical principles, such as Monte Carlo simulation technology, decision tree technology, project progress evaluation technology, critical path method technology, wbs, obs, cbs, pbs decomposition technology, time estimation technology with code lines, function points, labor and so on. , have the necessary knowledge. With these concepts, coupled with the usual accumulation, we can have a deeper understanding of management.
3. Ability preparation. The understanding of knowledge is ultimately reflected in the improvement of ability. There are indeed many differences between technology and management in terms of work focus, thinking mode and problem handling. In this regard, we should gradually change our working methods.
4. Certificate preparation. Management sometimes needs "labels", such as mba degree, pmp certificate of project management, advanced class of enterprise management and so on. These advanced studies and achievements are all "passports" to help them turn to management positions. You might as well take some further studies and get some certificates in your spare time, which will make it easier to change jobs.
5. Work preparation. The enterprise's thirst for management talents provides many opportunities for technical talents to change jobs. Especially in software, finance, electronics and other industries, there is a shortage of team leaders and project management talents, and such management positions are also suitable candidates for technicians in the early stage of transformation. You can take the initiative to contact headhunters and submit resumes to positions such as project manager, system manager and team leader.
