How To Avoid The Common Mistakes Of Managers
The road to being a successful manager can be full of obstacles, but you can learn the lessons that other first-time managers learned the hard way and be fore-armed to avoid these common mistakes. Mistakes like people-pleasing, rewarding hard work with more work (and allowing poor work to get off scot-free), ignoring toxic team members and allowing them to stay, letting small problems grow to the point they become urgent, and other common communication blunders we fall into, from back-channeling, mixing messages, speaking ill of others, breaking trust or confidences, and lots more. In this Learning Path, you'll learn from renowned Leadership authors and facilitators, Karin Hurt and David Dye, on how to avoid these common mistakes of first-time leaders
