Every day, people managers are relied upon to be the bridge between senior leaders and teams, translate corporate messages, build genuine connections with individuals, nurture new skills, and build future-ready teams.
However, people managers today are overworked, undervalued, and most importantly, misunderstood. And often, the wrong people frequently make it into these critical roles.
