The Art Of People Management

Key Takeaways

Our CEO and Founder, Jessica Chen, recently hosted a Soulcast Media | LIVE event on LinkedIn. She interviewed Senior VP, Talent & Chief HR Officer at Harvard Business Publishing, Angela Cheng-Cimini. They shared tips and personal stories about the art of people management. Here are the takeaways for VIP Comm Pass members:

• Leadership is a skill we can learn.
• We can take the things our best and worst bosses did and turn those into learning moments.
• Great bosses communicated often, expressed care, gave course corrections, gave praise, and let us have the stage.
• Leadership is about providing support, removing obstacles, and then getting out of the way.
• To elevate our leadership, we need to make space for everyone on our team.
• A great leader encourages the best solutions.
• We need to make room for one-on-one interactions with our team members so we can show them we care.

• To prevent our team from burning out, we can ask our team members how they are doing, and really listen. We also need to provide ways we can help them do their jobs.
• When we are talking, we aren't listening. Going on a "listening tour" will help us become better managers.
• We need to treat people the way they want to be treated. 
• Situational leadership is understanding what works best for the person who is receiving our message. The key is to get to know who our team is.
