FROM BUD TO BOSS: LEARNING TO LEAD PEOPLE

Ep225: This Week at Work we talk about how to develop supervisors and managers that perform well as people leaders. We’re joined by special guest Matt Wideman, AAIM’s Business Manager of Training and Development, as we discuss the benefits of providing new leaders the skills and confidence to succeed when transitioning to roles with added responsibilities.

Lawyer on the Clock:

5:06 - The DOJ has taken a renewed interest in what are called no poach cases, where one company agrees with another company not to hire the other’s employees. Specifically looking at wage fixing, which is a violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act.

9:47 - OSHA has adopted a new rule under the Taxpayers First Act that outlines whistleblower protections in regards to testifying about tax violations.

11:45 - The NLRB is now seeking to regulate discussions of race in the workplace, protecting employees from retaliation for having workplace discussions about racism.

24:34 - Demand is up for training supervisors. Top skills needed are communication, the ability to coach, and the ability to provide feedback to their teams.

30:00 - Poll results are in: the most important traits supervisors need are being supportive, tenacious, and communicative. Once we have those core basic skills, it’s important to layer on things like delegation skills, the ability to manage change, and dealing with conflict.
