Synopsis

Is this your first role as a new People Manager? Are you daunted by the idea? Don’t worry, you are not alone!

Becoming a People Manager is an exciting new challenge in your career but can also feel overwhelming. Being new to the role will no doubt mean that you have many questions that you want to find answers for. Your previous work experience, whilst invaluable for your personal development, may not give you the tools or confidence you need to springboard straight into your new role.

This book takes you through practical steps and real-world examples to become a confident, and ultimately successful People Manager.

In this book, you will:

• Discover tried-and-tested examples of tools and process you can use in your new role.
• Explore the role of a People Manager and learn about what to expect.
• Learn how to run effective and engaging one-on-one sessions with your team.
• Master the art of building happy teams.
• Learn how to handle conflict amongst your teams.
• Discover how to continually learn and grow in your new role.

The authors Joanna and Dean help clarify and de-risk the challenges you might face in your new role as a People Manager. Understanding coaching-versus-leading, having the ability to give effective feedback, hiring and growing talent, and creating performance goals are just some of the skills you can bring to the role. This book gives step-by-step techniques to learn these and many more to begin, achieve, succeed and continuously learn and grow as a People Manager in your organisation.
