The Problem
How often do we hear about bad management and how often have we moaned about it too? The fact is, management is tricky. Even trying to define it stumps most people, so if you're unsure about what the role of manager really means, then you're not alone. And let's face it - if you don't know what you're meant to be doing, then how can you be doing a good job?But what if you do know what you're supposed to be doing - maybe you've been on the course - but it still isn't happening? A classic problem for managers is being stuck in the detail and unable to escape, which means it's hard to concentrate on the important stuff and nothing's really getting done.
If work is now a headache (even though you used to enjoy your job) and just stressful (although you never had a problem with stress before) and actually, you're not even sure what your job is nowadays - or what the point of it is, then the bad news is that if you don't take action then it's only going to get worse.
If you don't take control then it really is your problem. You're the manager - you have to manage. If you can't manage yourself then how can you manage your team?
Work needs managing and managers sometimes need help, so if this sounds like you, then take heart! Lots of people just like you have solved the same problems and I can help.
