How to be a Better Manager (Even With No Support)
from Stories from the Frontline · host Todd Roberts
What do you do when nobody is teaching you how to be a better manager?When I was a young manager, I wanted to lead better, build trust, handle conflict, motivate people, and get better results — but I did not have a coach or mentor showing me how.So I found mentors in books.In this episode, I introduce you to my “coaching team” and share the leadership lessons I learned from Vince Lombardi, John Maxwell, Stephen Covey, Dale Carnegie, Simon Sinek, Zig Ziglar, and others.You’ll hear four lessons that shaped the way I lead today:Lead yourself first.Stop waiting.Leadership can be learned.How you treat people matters.Most importantly, you do not have to wait for your company, your boss, or HR to decide when you are going to grow.A book sitting on your shelf cannot mentor you. You have to take what you learn and use it.Nobody may be developing you right now. But you can start developing yourself today.What are you reading right now?#HowToBeABetterManager #NewManager #ManagerTraining #LeadershipDevelopment #LeadershipBooks
