When you've been managing for a while it can be easy to think you've got all of the nuts and bolts figured out, but as we move through uncertain times and a new generation enters the workforce, there is always an opportunity to reflect on how we can show up better for our teams.
In this episode I explore three mistakes seasoned managers make:
(1) Not getting the training they need
(2) Not delegating and trying to do everything themselves
(3) Not building a strong bench of leaders
...and how to avoid them.
Ready to avoid these mistakes once and for all? My manager development program "Micro to Macro" gives you everything you need to build a strong relationship with your team members to fuel psychological safety and trust, deliver feedback effectively including appreciation and have difficult conversations, and delegate to empower your teams to step up as owners.
