Skills for Data & AI Managing positions
summary
First-week checklist with concrete steps: learn where the team and projects came from, meet the team and hold 30-minute one-on-ones, meet the boss and gather priorities, then synthesize a Venn-style overview of alignment and gaps. Protect makers by minimizing interruptions and schedule calendar / to-do / inbox / notes as separate systems. Use Coursera or Personal MBA resources, timebox email (morning, lunch, evening), disconnect at week’s end, and track action items from the Friday review. Management demands end-to-end understanding, empathy, low ego, and structured routines rather than pure technical skill.
