Re: Training for Management?

["Gene Kim-Eng" <techwr -at- genek -dot- com>]

Normally, I would agree with all of Geoff's points.  However,
based on your previous posts about your working situation,
if you still have the same issues and the same contractor, 
you would be going into a management position with at 
least one person who can't or won't follow directions, work 
cooperatively in a team or adjust work habits in response 
to feedback and shows indications of needing to be 
spanked, micromanaged and required to meet imposed 
deadlines, and your immediate manager has not done 
much to support what efforts you have made to date to 
deal with the situation on a co-worker/lead writer basis.

You may or may not need document management training.
You definitely need training in people management, and I
would put "dealing with problem employees" right at the
top of the list of classes to take.
