Imagine for a moment: After making yourself thoroughly indispensable within your institution, you are promoted to a management role. Congratulations! You did it! You’ve worked hard for years and mastered every aspect of your job, and this promotion is very well-deserved. But, once you step into your role, you quickly realize that you are quite unprepared to lead others. You may even feel like you’re just making it up as you go. 

Well, you’re not alone! In fact, this is something most first-time managers experience. Most companies are excellent at training people to handle the operational aspects of the job, but those same companies often place little (to no) focus on the human aspect of leadership. So, what are we to do about it?

In this episode of HabChat, join hosts Patrick and Susan as they discuss this vital leadership issue with Rob Bennetts (Haberfeld Senior Consultant & Director of Cultivate). Tune in today to learn why managers aren’t there to tell people what to do; they’re there to help people grow. You’ll also learn how Haberfeld can help grow your team’s leadership through our Cultivate platform.
