Q  How did you progress from Specialist to Manager in two years?

A  The greatest change was learning to move beyond the boundaries of my role—from completing tasks to creating value, and from developing myself to enabling the team. As a Specialist, I focused on execution. With experience, I developed a project-owner mindset, considering not only the product but also market opportunities and long-term business value, while driving projects through to delivery.

Q  What was the most significant turning point?

A  The transition from Supervisor to Department Manager was the most significant. I learned that a manager’s value lies not only in delivering results, but also in building a team capable of creating sustainable value. My focus shifted from solving individual problems to establishing effective systems and improving team performance over the long term.
