Management masterclass with Jill Geisler - lesson 1

How do you think you're faring in the management stakes? Or more to the point, what would your direct reports say about you? 

To help me navigate the management maize, I was lucky enough to speak to Jill Geisler about her book, ‘Work Happy – What Great Bosses Know’, ahead of the paperback launch (January 2014).  

Here's a little starter to warm you up in the New Year...lots more insight to come from my chat with Jill. 

Jill's top three management tips for 2014

1) "Think strategically, always look at the big picture and not just your slice of it"

2) "Expect disruption and change – and learn to lead through it"

3) "Be a student of your industry and its future so you can be a pacesetter, not an obstacle"
