At Rudner Law, we see employment relationships as an extension of your interpersonal ones. This is true regardless of whether you are an employee, a multi-national corporation, a start-up, a family business or a non-profit organization. We recognize that interpersonal relationships are complicated. This is why we focus all our energy and resources into mastering the practice of Employment Law, also referred to as HR or Workplace Law. Our lawyers have substantial knowledge, expertise and experience in Employment law and pride themselves in focusing on the practical and business concerns of our clients. But we make sure that we look beyond just the law and work with our clients to help them make well-reasoned decisions based on all the relevant factors.

Stuart is joined by author and former VP of US Delivery Operation in the US at UPS, Noel Massie. They discuss some of the challenges faced with promotions into a leadership role.

Getting promoted is one of the most exciting events in a career. Yet many are placed in the role without any knowledge of what it takes to be a leader, let alone a great leader. You’re expected to sink or swim, and most companies don’t provide any support or leadership training either before or after the promotion.
