In part three of our #BuildingBetterManagers series, Ross Garner and Nahdia Khan are joined for one last time by Dr Anna Barnett from the Mind Tools Insights team. If you've been listening along recently, we've already covered the capabilities that make a 'good' manager, and how we can develop them. In this week's episode, we're looking at how we support more experienced managers.

We discuss:

• The long-term impact of early management training

• Differences (and similarities) between new and experienced managers

• How we can provide constant ongoing support to more experienced managers.

During the discussion, Nahdia referenced our podcast with Georgie Rudd on listening.
