The truth is, great managers don’t just happen. They are built through intentional actions, self-awareness, and a commitment to growth. If you want to be the manager you always wished for, start by focusing on three key areas: consistency, communication, and personal development.

Many managers view Performance Improvement Plans as a step toward termination. However, when used correctly, they are a coaching tool designed to help employees succeed, not performance manage them out.

I bet if I were to ask you if you want a better experience at work, you would say YES YES YES! So why are we still dealing with uncomfortable tension, ideas that go unheard, and overwhelming expectations…

The one thing I wish someone told me when I was starting my leadership career.

Optimizing processes, developing great communication strategies, and elevating the overall employee experience.

You shouldn't have to give up the bright parts of you in order to make things work out or move forward. That doesn't mean life is without compromise, collaboration, self-awareness and growth.  But those things should feel like they are moving toward your purpose or goal.  Not giving up pieces of you or your dreams.
