Becoming a great manager is as much for other people's benefit as it is for your own. In order to do this you have to see it as a practice that incorporates certain mindsets and habits that contribute to developing you into the kind of person who can guide and develop others 

Today on the show we will talking about three very important areas that managers should be focused on incorporating and improving as they work throughout the week. 

My advice...practice these things intentionally and work at recalling your day and your week every week as you plan the next one. See where you did great and keep it going, or see where you were challenged and improve it next time. 

I hope this episode helps jump-start your transformation. Please listen to the episodes below and treat it like a cafe manager mini-university.

If you are here and listening it means you already want to get better. I know you can do it and I am thankful for the work you are putting in to serve others well!
