How to Manage People You Don't Manage (with Mark Herschberg)
My guest this week is Mark Herschberg, and we’re talking about How to Manage People You Don’t Manage.
This is a particularly important topic in light of the changes we’re seeing as corporations respond to COVID. Learning how to manage people via influence before you have the position can help show your boss what you are capable of and open the door to a managerial position.
Mark talks about the unique challenges of managing people you don’t manage and gives us tips for leading by influence.
