| User Guides (aka READMEs) | 25 Oct 2022 | 00:12:19 | |
What does dating someone and onboarding a new team member have in common? Both are about discovering the other's preferences and values and communicating your own. In this week’s episode of The Manager Track podcast, I will share why you should be creating a User Guide (aka READMEs) for the people you work with. Within the employee-manager relationship, there are only a few things more vital than building trust and understanding of how the other operates. But you don't need to take the slow train and learn as you go... you can accelerate this process by making explicit what is usually implicit. User Guides, or READMEs are guides of how you prefer to work, communicate, make your decisions... and the things you do (and don't) value. I will share where you can find examples of such guides that can inspire your own, and how you can approach your team members so they can create one for themselves as well. — RESOURCES MENTIONED —

| Creating a Feedback Culture - With Harrison Kim | 18 Oct 2022 | 00:31:35 | |
Feedback is our #1 tool for improvement. But most of us need to learn how to give feedback effectively as it's not something we really learn until we find ourselves in our first leadership role. In addition to learning and practicing the tactical skills, we also need to pay attention to the feedback culture within our organization or team so that feedback is intentionally built into the habits and routines of the employees. In this week’s episode of The Manager Track podcast, I am joined by Harrison Kim, who is the CEO of Pavestep - an employee feedback and performance management solution. He founded Pavestep to help organizations develop their people faster and retain them longer. He is a former McKinsey consultant as well as a former private equity investor specializing in the human capital management sector. — RESOURCES MENTIONED —

| Quit The Quiet Quitting - And What You as a Manager Can Do For Your Team | 27 Sep 2022 | 00:22:49 | |
“Quiet Quitting” has been a buzzword for the last couple of months…and if you’re a little bit like me, you might even have started to cringe every time you hear the phrase now. I’ve refrained from speaking about the topic so far because it seems to be broadly misconstrued and it aims to address a complex problem with an overly simple term or solution for that matter. However, after sharing my thoughts with a reporter, I also decided to address the topic on the podcast. So, in this week’s episode of The Manager Track podcast, I will share with you a little bit of its history in the workplace, why I personally dislike the term “Quiet Quitting”, the costs and risks associated with it, and my 3 suggestions for what you can do as a manager to address quiet quitting with your team members. I hope this gives you a different and maybe new perspective on this latest hype of “Quiet Quitting.” — RESOURCES MENTIONED — — OTHER EPISODES YOU MIGHT LIKE —

| Navigating Conflict at Work - With Sarah Albo | 20 Sep 2022 | 00:35:29 | |
Did you know that a good 70% of employees avoid conflict? Where do you land on this? Are you avoiding conflict at work? I definitely used to be guilty as charged ;-) and even though I feel equipped to navigate conflict these days, it still doesn’t come easy. If this sounds at least a bit familiar to you, then you've got to meet my colleague Sarah Albo. Sarah is a Conflict Coach (yes, that’s a thing!), Certified Mediator and HR Consultant. In other words, she gets called in to mediate conflict, restore company culture, or help if someone has a difficult time with mental health. In this week’s episode of The Manager Track podcast, you’ll hear my open and honest conversation with Sarah about why conflict resolution is a tricky thing for us to learn, what differentiates constructive from destructive conflict and how you can de-escalate or even prevent conflict from arising in the first place. — RESOURCES MENTIONED —

| Giving Feedback: 3 Common Mistakes | 13 Sep 2022 | 00:15:18 | |
In my first few months as a new manager, I couldn’t bear the thought of having to give feedback to my direct reports… …who happened to also be my former peers. But I knew it was inevitable. So I braced myself and started having feedback conversations in 1-on-1s and throughout the week. Although I was giving feedback (as I had to), I hated it. It felt uncomfortable, awkward, and weird. Over time, this got better but what I wished I had known back then was that feedback is a lot less about GIVING it and a lot more about creating time and space to have a conversation about what is or isn’t working and what to do about it. What I wished I had known is that learning how to ‘give feedback’ effectively is a critical skill to develop as a manager. And I wished I had known about what common mistakes to avoid. If you can relate to this, then this episode of the Manager Track podcast is for you. We’re going to talk about giving feedback and 3 not-so-obvious mistakes that are commonly made so you can avoid them and get better at the skill of giving feedback. My goal is for you to walk away from this episode with several ideas on tweaks you could make in the way you give feedback! Ready? Hit play! — RESOURCES MENTIONED —

| When a Direct Resigns, What's Your Responsibility? | 16 Aug 2022 | 00:18:41 | |
It can be tricky when one of your direct report resigns, especially when they’ve been doing a great job. If you are a new manager, you may not have experienced a resignation yet, but it is inevitable that at some point an employee will resign. When you hear them say it out loud or you read their termination letter, you may experience self-doubt and question what you could have done better, or why you didn’t see it coming. But this is not the time to shame and blame yourself, but instead to be really self-compassionate and to use this situation as a learning opportunity. In this week’s episode of The Manager Track podcast, we are going to talk about what is and isn’t your responsibility when a direct report resigns, why self- compassion is important during this time, and how you can learn and grow as a leader from this situation. — RESOURCES MENTIONED —

| 6 Things I Wished All Managers Knew | 09 Aug 2022 | 00:18:13 | |
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.

One of my top 3 values is growth. And based on the fact that you're reading this right now, I'm guessing growth and learning are pretty important to you as well. So sooner or later, you might find yourself in a situation when you're craving to make an investment in yourself and experience accelerated growth. I think this is particularly common in situations when we move into new or bigger responsibilities. But what if your company doesn't offer the training program you're looking for?

| Challenging Patriarchal Norms in Leadership | 25 Jun 2024 | 00:22:28 | |
In this eye-opening episode, Ramona goes in-depth on the ongoing impact of patriarchal attitudes toward leadership in the workplace. She explains how qualities viewed as more "masculine," like assertiveness and decisiveness, are still prized over "feminine" strengths like empathy and collaboration. Using real-world examples and studies, Ramona points out the male-centric bias that underlies popular leadership books, corporate training programs, and organizational cultures. The ideas being taught skew heavily toward traditionally male styles of leadership. She gets real about the specific challenges women face, like feeling they have to work extra hard to get promoted, not wanting to come across as "difficult" for speaking up, and taking critical feedback harder than men do - which can chip away at self-confidence over time. While big-picture reforms are needed, Ramona calls on individuals to start recognizing their own biases and intentionally value a mix of masculine and feminine leadership qualities, depending on what an organization or team needs. This frank discussion exposes the outdated mindsets still casting feminine traits as second-rate, and rallies leaders to root out these subconscious prejudices to build fairer, more inclusive workplaces.
