Summary

Today's episode of Working Hard, Hardly Working is one of our most highly requested solo episodes: it's all about how to be a better manager.

Management truly is one of the most important skills to have in the workplace, but most of us are never taught how to do it.

I find it so strange that it's one of those skills we're expected to just 'pick up' even though it's not a skill the majority of people specialise in when entering their careers, and it often doesn't come as second nature (it certainly didn't to me!). Plus, it's categorically the most important skill for career progression.

I hope you find this episode helpful and enjoy listening!

0:50.8	Today, we are talking about how to be a better manager. This has been a highly
0:55.9	requested topic and I have spoken about before how strange I find it that we are expected to
1:02.0	take to being a manager like a fish to water when it's nothing to do with what we are specialising in.
1:08.6	Whether you're at a grad scheme, whether you are, I don't know,
1:12.2	literally anywhere you're working, you are expected as you progress to also suddenly be good at managing
1:17.5	people with often no experience and no training. And then even if there is training, it's like a
1:22.5	morning of sitting in front of a computer and then being like, don't be inappropriate and don't
1:27.1	tell them off meanly. And that's don't be inappropriate and don't tell them off
1:27.6	mainly. And that's don't really what it all is. So I wanted to do an episode on how to be a better
