10 THINGS EVERY NEW MANAGER NEEDS TO KNOW
15
Check in by asking:
Am I meeting these needs?
Are people achieving individual, team and
organizational objectives?
Is each person getting
what he or she needs
from me and the
organization? Am I
meshing those needs
with task and team
requirements?
Is my team working
well together? Do they
support each other in
achieving objectives?

If you answered no to any of these questions, work to address those needs.
In addition to meeting the needs of the task, the team and the individuals, check in to see how YOU are doing by
asking: Am I meeting my own needs?
Are you
• managing the relationship with your boss?
• going after your own learning and development?
• managing your stress levels?
If you answered no to any of these questions, do what you can to get your own needs met. Don't neglect your
own needs; if you do, all other areas will suffer.
Use this model as your compass, and check in with yourself periodically. It will help keep you focused and on track.
