First-time Management – tips from the high chair!
Jon Stephenson
https://uk.linkedin.com/in/stephensonjon
Managers
Empower the team – don’t spoon-feed them!
Ensure you put side before self every time
Check why they’re resistant to changes
Tailor your approach to suit the task
Build contingency into your plans
Stay cool, calm, and collected
Learn from each experience
Grow a support network
Nip conflict in the bud
Dress to impress
Parents
Use positive language
Do what’s right for them
Work out why they’re crying
Watch out when changing nappies!
You can never have too many dummies!
Don’t overreact to incidents
Learn fast, but take baby steps
Reach out for help if you need it
Ignore their tantrums and outbursts
Check your clothes for damp patches!
