Listen "Episode #84 - Interview with Anna Marshall on the transition to leadership "
Episode Synopsis
In this episode Shelley speaks with director of People Mastery, Anna Marshall, about what leaders need to consider before and during their transition into people management.

Anna shares the importance of recognising that leadership isn’t the only developmental growth pathway, so if leadership isn’t for you then don’t do it, don't get railroaded into it. Take another avenue (e.g. towards technical expertise), find a pathway that suits you.

Developing your team to achieve their individual and team potential
Resolving problems with your team so they can overcome challenges
