Thanks for the excellent reply. I happen to enjoy reading and I am looking forward to it. Any books you recommend. Primary management skills where I lack: - I tend to look at people through my tech lens. if someone is more technically skilled than me, I look up to them and I cannot accept laziness, non-commitment, bullshit etc. Now I understand that I need to stop doing that and see people as just people who have different moods on a daily basis. What books would you recommend to become non-judgemental, and empathetic

- What do I do about actually non-competent people. You see, while I am excited about the role, I am also scared. I have been very good in my tech role and my management career will depend upon my team. But, in the fast few years, my team has accumulated a lot of baggage and a lot of people are totally unmotivated and non-committed. I feel like I am being given this role because noone else wants it. any suggestions?
