Listen "3 Big Mistakes New Managers Make & How to Avoid Them"
Episode Synopsis
Becoming a new manager can be both exciting and overwhelming.
The biggest challenge is that most new managers don't receive any leadership training. Yet, the skills you need to succeed as a manager are completely different from the skills you needed to perform well as an individual contributor.
Because it's such a big transition, it’s very likely that you’ll make some mistakes as you ramp up in your new manager role. There are common missteps you can prevent, however, if you’re properly prepared.
In this episode, I'm sharing 3 big mistakes many new managers make and how to avoid them.
