About this site

If you are a new manager, this is a place for you. You can explore the new challenges of being a manager, get advice, hear from others and plan how you're going to be the best manager you can.

The topics here are the ones I have been most often asked about when coaching or mentoring or working with teams. You can look around for ideas and answers, and add your own by emailing me or contributing to the blogs below.

• get and maintain credibility and respect
• manage my own workload as well as being in charge of others
• give clear instructions
• cope when something goes wrong
• manage my manager

Check to what extent these are your issues:

• Have you been promoted from among your team or peers?

 

• Are you managing a team new to you?

 

• Are you managing someone with specialised skills?

 

• Do you know what your boss expects of you as a manager?

 

• Are you wondering how to be fair to people who work effectively but in different ways?
