6 Things I Wished All Managers Knew

Too many new managers are being set up to join the 40-60% of new managers who fail or underperform in their first 2 years. It often has nothing to do with their capabilities, but rather the lack of proper training, support, and guidance that is necessary to make them successful in this new management role. In this week’s episode of The Manager Track podcast, I will be sharing a list of 6 things I wished ALL new managers knew based on what I see and hear inside The Leadership Accelerator. — RESOURCES MENTIONED — Ramona’s 12-week Leadership Accelerator helps new managers become confident and competent leaders people love to work with!
