Leading Accidental Managers: Expert HR Tips for Building a Positive Work Culture | Marion Parrish | EP08
Manage episode 446546408 series 3571602
In this episode of Leading BOLDLY, we dive into the world of "accidental managers" with Marion Parrish, HR expert and author of The Accidental Manager’s Guide to Leading a Team. Marion shares her invaluable insights on how many managers—often promoted for their technical skills—are unprepared for leadership roles.
Drawing from her extensive career in HR with top companies like BT and AIG, Marion discusses the importance of understanding individual team members' motivations and how effective delegation is more than just offloading tasks. She also emphasises the critical need for organisations to invest in management development, given that 82% of new managers lack formal training.
Listen in as Marion covers practical tips on:
- Shifting from "doer" to leader
- Planning for successful delegation
- Creating a positive work environment
- Handling difficult conversations with confidence
- Balancing performance and employee wellbeing
Whether you’re a seasoned entrepreneur or a new business owner, this episode is packed with actionable advice to help you lead your team with clarity and confidence.
Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how to move from accidental manager to intentional leader!
