Effective people leadership is a skill like any other, but although it’s something you can learn, it’s not often something that we’re taught. If you’ve just promoted a star performer into a team leader (or if you’re the star performer who’s been promoted!), chances are you’ve got a skill gap between the old job and the new one.

This practical webinar, hosted by HR expert Sylvie Thrush Marsh, is designed to help business owners and managers close that gap - before small people issues turn into big problems.

In this webinar, you'll learn:

  • Why so many managers become ‘accidental people leaders’ and where things often go wrong

  • What good people leadership actually looks like in an SMB

  • The most common mistakes new people leaders make (and how to correct them early)

  • How business owners can support managers without micromanaging or taking over

  • The risks of leaving people leaders unsupported and flailing
