Day Two Cloud 200: Coaching For Accidental (And On-Purpose) Managers

Maybe you’re a technical person who’s ended up in the role of manager—you don’t necessarily have any background or training in management, but now that you’re in the job you want to get better. Or maybe managing a team or a company is a career goal, and you want to be prepared.

On today’s Day Two Cloud we talk with a management coach to understand what it means to be a manager, primary responsibilities of the role (results and retention), how to know if you’re meeting those responsibilities, what new managers tend to get wrong, and understanding that this isn’t just a move–it’s a career change.

We also discuss learning tools, the role of experience vs. education, how a coach differs from a mentor, and more. This episode goes places we didn’t expect, so take a listen!

Our guest is Steve Dwire from Northway Insights.
