I work at an software development company and I recently got promoted as a project manager. The thing is that I feel that this was mainly because my skills to design, synthesize and optimize new architectures.
However there's more to being project manager and since I now run a team of people there are more responsibilities.
It's not my style at all being bossy, but I think I should start because people start to ignore me. Plus, I'm not sure that I can communicate too well what I want some people to do.
Can you recommend me some good books or other methods that will help me improve my communication and team management skills?
I would appreciate any help because, even tho everything went ok till now, I constantly have the fear that I will loose this job because the lack of these skills.
Thank you very much,
Cristian
