What advice do you wish someone gave you when you moved from dev to management?

What advice would you give someone on how to make the transition from developer to project manager? A freelancer is asking for input for an article. The goal is to share useful suggestions for someone who is contemplating making the change from "coder" to "new project manager" or "project lead." That advice could be based on your own experiences or watching others stumble. Imagine that a friend just got such a promotion -- or has decided to look for a new job where she can move into project management. What would you tell her?
