Being good at your job doesn’t automatically mean you’ll be good at managing people. So why do so many companies treat management as the default next step?
In this episode, Indra and Amanda dig into the myths and realities of people management—why some folks are promoted before they’re ready, what actually makes a great leader, and why management isn’t just a promotion but an entirely different job. They explore the essential skills needed to succeed, the emotional labor of leadership, and alternative career paths for those who want to grow without managing people.
Thinking about stepping into management? Already dealing with a less-than-stellar boss? Either way, this episode is for you!
