Managing Your Managers

As breweries grow, the role of the owner or senior leader shifts. You’re no longer just managing people, you’re managing the people who manage people. And that comes with a whole new set of challenges. This session focuses on how to support, coach, and hold your managers accountable in a way that builds trust, creates consistency, and takes some weight off your shoulders. You’ll hear from brewery owners and leadership experts on how they set clear expectations, create simple systems for communication and feedback, and identifying what great management actually looks like inside a brewery. Join us to walk away with practical ways to develop stronger leaders, address issues earlier, and build a management layer that helps your business run better day to day.
