When you become a manager, part of your job is helping other people to shine. And it's also where you should find joy, right? I'm just going to make a plug here for, we have done an essentials episode last spring on delegation. So you can all listen to it right after this, if you like. But it is, for me, it was the hardest thing. Took me years to learn to do that."
Former co-hosts Sarah, Nicole, and Emily reunite with the Amys to discuss the insights and advice that most resonated with them from this season, from how they gained their team’s trust as a first-time manager to how they’re now thinking about retirement. They also talk about their related personal and professional experiences, and share how they’ve been doing since they left the show and HBR.
If you haven’t listened to Season 8 in full, this episode also serves as an overview so you can pick and choose what you want to go back and listen to. The episode ends with each of the hosts sharing what they want to see us covering in future seasons. If you have any ideas, please email us. We’d love to hear from you.
