Step into management without treating your desk as a test of your capability. This practical eBook guides first-time managers through a five-stage handover method for choosing three recurring tasks, agreeing ownership and decision limits, and setting review points. Use it to examine work such as preparing updates, tracking actions and answering familiar queries, then separate the steps someone else can own from the judgement that still needs to remain with you. The aim is to help you establish shared ownership for three suitable tasks within 30 days, while staying accountable for outcomes without doing every task yourself.
