This document provides advice for new technical managers on how to transition from individual contributor roles to management roles. It acknowledges that many new managers struggle with "putting down the tools" and stopping hands-on technical work to focus on management duties. The document recommends several strategies for making this transition successfully, such as scheduling management activities like meetings and code reviews, reducing coding time gradually, and investing in building up the skills of the team rather than trying to do everything yourself. The overall message is that effective management requires focusing on enabling the team rather than relying on individual technical contributions.
