Part of the job of a manager is teaching others how to lead and preparing employees to succeed in various supervisory roles. Towards the end of the manager's career, that role may become more specifically to groom someone to fill the manager's shoes upon retirement. As the Baby Boomer generation begins to retire and fewer qualified individuals are prepared to enter the clinical laboratory sciences, preparing the next generation of leaders is more vital than ever.
Grooming the next generation of laboratory managers involves so much more than ensuring that clinical and technical know-how are up to speed. Managers need to know how to make important hiring and staffing decisions and work within the constraints of a tight budget. They must know how to effectively communicate with diverse employees and how to perform evaluations on those employees. Consider this your training handbook for preparing your up-and-comers to fill valuable roles in your laboratory.
Inside, you'll find:
- Tips for the first-time manager
- Self-management skills
