Those who want to take on a management role as a management specialist and see themselves as the next team leader or group leader often have a high level of technical expertise but little experience in dealing with people. Some therefore underestimate the effort and demands of personnel management work. Others look forward to being able to work more directly with people and overlook the fact that management functions are often associated with business and entrepreneurial tasks. Those who are not interested in accounting, marketing, logistics or organizational issues may find this part of the job difficult.
