You’re the Boss: Becoming the Manager You Want to Be - Sabina Nawaz

How does the combination of pressure and power impact a leader’s behavior?

What can HR leaders do to help their managers to be better bosses?

My guest on this episode is Sabina Nawaz, Executive Coach and author, “You're the Boss: Become the Manager You Want to Be (and Others Need)”

During our conversation Sabina and I discuss:

  • Why pressure, not power alone, makes leaders behave poorly and what leaders can do about it
  • Simple ways to set healthy work limits even when bosses expect too much
  • Why communication breakdowns happen and practical ways to fix them
  • How the "shut up exercise" helps leaders listen more and talk less, leading to better team results
  • Why the skills that got you promoted might be seen differently once you're in a leadership role
