Stop managing. Start leading.
Rob Gaedtke - KPS3
Wednesday, August 24
Speaker: Noon - 1 pm
Networking: 11 am - Noon
Managing people has nothing to do with “managing” anything. You are a guide, a mentor, a challenger — heck, sometimes you are just an ear or a shoulder. But too many times managers forget that. They forget that they are in control of somebody’s future, salary, and growth… and those things can’t be managed. They can only be nourished and supported.

Eight key responsibilities of being someone’s boss and why you should take them seriously
Advice on how to give better feedback, provide more meaningful reviews, and when to give bonuses/raises
Guidance on growth plans and helping outline the future vs. outlining tasks
In the end, if you are a boss, you get to let them go if it doesn’t work out
