Welcome to Manager Tools. Use a warning order. Here we go.

This cast answers these questions. How can I give my team early warning?

How should I introduce changes to plans to my team? How can I increase

creativity on my team? Well if you want answers to these and more, keep

listening.

Folks, one of the speakers at our M conference, October 9th and 10th in Dallas this year, is

between managers and HR and yet you still have to have an excellent relationship with your HR business partner and

Lauren's going to talk about how that happens, why it happens, what you can do to make

sure that you're getting the most out of HR and you stay on the right side of HR because

they've got responsibilities that go beyond just helping you. So do come to the M conference,
