The Making of a Manager PDF – Julie Zhuo
What do you think?” I was twenty-five, working at a start-up. All that I knew of management could be neatly summarized into two words: meetings and PROMOTION. I mean, this was a promotion, wasn’t it?

I wasn’t about to turn down that kind of invitation. So I said yes. It was only later, walking out of the room, that I thought about the details of what she had said. I got along with everyone. Surely there was more to management than that. How much more? I was about to find out. — I remember my first meeting with a direct report.
I arrived five minutes past our scheduled time, in a rush and flustered by my lateness. This is a terrible start, I thought to myself. I could see him through the windowed door of the conference room— the same one I had met my manager in previously—eyes glued to his phone.
