How are you developing your management style to take care of each employee on your team or within your organization? Don’t Listen to us, listen to Ted Lasso. We don’t want to spoil too much, but here are the teasers for what we will be talking about:
  • Everyone’s on the team
  • Be a Goldfish

  • Mentors are better than managers
  • Be curious not judgmental
