One of the biggest challenges for new managers is leading on the first day. Nerves are often short, but managers have to be able to overcome those feelings to project an aura of confidence that will encourage others to follow them.

This journal assignment is designed to reflect your skills in being able to take this premise and showcase what you believe to be the most important elements into a brief assignment. This exploration will be the first step into the world of evaluating effective communication and leadership strategies for a company, which is a key component of the final project.

Compose an assignment that shares the challenges people have when becoming managers, as discussed in Being the Boss from the module resources. You may also draw upon your own experiences as both a leader and follower in this environment. Share some ways that a new manager might impact the system in place, as discussed in the Almaney readings.
