title: Making the transition from technologist to manager.
abstract: To prepare for the transition to management, technical personnel must (1) develop their administrative, communication, and interpersonal skills; (2) learn to delegate, and (3) learn management principles and concepts. This last activity can be accomplished through in-house management training programs, on-the-job training, or formal management degree programs. These activities will help increase the chances for success among technical personnel making the transition into management in a clinical or industrial setting.
