[QUOTE="tieguy, post: 397811, member: 1912"] [COLOR=blue]The transition from driver to management is not always an easy one. Not only do you have to manage a group of many diverse personalities but you have to manage your boss and his expectations of you. Some bosses make this task easier then others. They practice the open door process and solicit feedback from you. Others require a crowbar to get that door open. I'm guessing Yours is the latter. If so then you will have to be more active in soliciting the feedback of that person and giving that person the feedback that shows you are addressing his her needs.
