In this episode, Tracy Jasper, a manager at Hubspot, talks about her experience transitioning from an individual contributor to a people manager in the tech industry. Tune in to hear about the challenges Tracy faced, as well as the people management skills she's had to develop.In many tech companies, becoming a people manger is neither a promotion, nor the only way to advance one's career. In fact, there are often parallel tracks for people interested in individual contributor or manager work. That said, becoming a people manager is often a strategic move because, to progress to Director and VP level, one almost always needs to have this experience under their belt.Career Queens Podcast is a business podcast that spotlights career conversations with millennial women making moves in tech.

  2-Minute Tip: Take a Beat   Have you ever noticed that a speaker will step up to their speaking spot (fancy technical term there), look down, then up, scan the room silently, and then start speaking? They're taking a moment to prep themselves for the talk they are about to deliver. While that whole ritual may be a little much, there is value in taking a moment to take a breath and plant your feet before speaking.   It gives you the opportunity to shift from prep mode into speaking mode. When you are prepping for a talk, you are reviewing what you want to say, making last minute adjustments based on the audience, double-checking your gear, reviewing site lines, going through sound check, turning off your phone, emptying your pockets and more. When it's time to speak, prep time is over. You have to put aside all the to do items of prep and now let their value come through. It's time to focus on delivering your message.   Taking a moment at the very start to clear your head and change your thinking allows you to do that.   You don't have to do it literally on the stage. You can take your beat in the wings just before you go on stage. Make your walk to your speaking spot part of your presentation. Be in speaking mode the moment you come out.   Regardless of exactly where you do it, take that deep breath and take that moment because now it's showtime.   Post Tip Discussion: Tips on Apologies   Sometimes an apology is all it takes to fix a problem. Many times, someone who has been wronged simply wants the transgressor to acknowledge they were wrong and validate the reality of a situation.   Too often, though, we apologize ineffectively or inappropriately and we do so from the stage. To be a more effective speaker, consider these 5 tips to apologize from stage:   Don't say, "I'm sorry." Say, "I apologize." Be sure you actually need to apologize. If the audience doesn't know something went wrong and they got a less than perfect experience, don't break their illusion by apologizing. An apology-nerves spiral can be painful. Avoid apologizing frequently from stage. Substitute the word "and" for the word "but" whenever possible.   Links   VO Boss Podcast https://voboss.com/ VO Boss SorryNotSorry https://voboss.com/episode-56-boss-mindset-sorry-not-sorry/ Manager Tools Podcast https://www.manager-tools.com/   Call To Action   I recorded this on World Stroke Day.

A separate Podcast Career Tools has been nominated in 2009 in the business category, the first year it was eligible, and won the business category in 2010. It too was nominated in 2011 and 2012 IN THIS PARTICULAR EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: Mark shares the premise of Manager Tools and why their model is sought after in business across all industries.  Regardless of your job, specialty or industry chances are you’ve had hours of training and education around learning your specific job. Whether you are an engineer learning to pour concrete around rebar, a dental assistant learning how to prepare the doctors tools or a stock trader on Wall Street, you have been trained. Now look at the business of management, no one is trained to be an effective manager. I have my MBA, trust me, this was not part of the curriculum. So what is the role of a manager and how can they get better at the job of managing? Mark describes the four most important things managers can leverage in order to achieve results and keeping their people: Know Your People Talk About Performance Ask For More Push Work Down   KNOW YOUR PEOPLE     Mark describes this as the single most important thing a manager can do to achieve results and retain their people. This is done through on-on-ones (O3) between the manager and her directs. Weekly 30 min O3’s significantly increase the quality of the relationship between the manager and their directs. If you are a manager ask yourself, “Do I know the names of the spouses and children of my directs?” What about your manager? Does he know the name of your spouse and children? If the answer to either of these questions is no, ask yourself, “Would my working relationships with “Do I know the names of the spouses and children of my directs?” What about your manager? Does he know the name of your spouse and children? If the answer to either of these questions is no, ask yourself, “Would my working relationships with my directs, or with my manager improve if this basic information (spouse, and children’s names) were known?” My guess is that you agree that it would! So if this is true, why don’t more managers know this about their directs? Why doesn’t your manager know this about you? My experience has been that many managers may know that this is important, and may even know that having a better relationship with their people would yield better results, but they just don’t know what to do or where to start. Manager Tools breaks this down shotgun style! Everything from what to say, how to conduct one, even a template to use; it is the most actionable management training program I know! TALK ABOUT PERFORMANCE     Have you ever sat across the table from your manager only to find out that there were some critical deliverables you were missing, and have been missing for several months, but you didn’t know until just now what they were and that you were missing them? Well, I have, and I can tell you that this is a very uncomfortable and awkward place to me, not to mention frustrating! So right now, you are probably thinking the same thing I was thinking then… “why didn’t I hear about this sooner?” Yup! this is a very good question to which I still do not have the answer. Why do managers only talk about performance during the mid-year review, or worse, only at the year-end review? Not a lot of course correction can be done then! It would be like taking a trip from Florida to Maine and only finding out you went the wrong way once you got to California. Ask yourself, “Do I like to hear from my manager regularly? Do I want to know sooner rather than later if I am veering off course?” If you answered yes to these questions, then wouldn’t you think that your directs feel the same way about you and their performance?     So why do managers wait until the train is completely off the track, or until the damage is so irreparable that it’s impossible to retain the employee? Have you ever seen this? Perhaps it’s happened to you. What an epic failure on the part of the manager, and I have to admit, I’ve been that manager. FEEDBACK – POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE Manager Tools gives managers a method by which these critical conversations can happen and it’s called the Feedback Model. Because honest and candid feedback is so foreign in the workplace, this “Feedback Model” sound a little funny at first and takes some time to get used to, but man, once you start providing your directs with constant performance feedback they perform much better and they give more of themselves because they are more confident about what it is you want and are looking for. ASK FOR MORE     As a manager, you want more from your people. It is in the best interest of the company to get more out of your directs than it is to hire more employees, which Mark describes as the last resort. As companies grow, hiring new people is inevitable, but far too often companies hire too early instead of ensuring their people are doing as much as possible without burn-out. So how do you as a manager accomplish this? Manager Tools teaches a concept called “Coaching” This is done in conjunction with the weekly O3’s. I had a direct once that I wanted to take on more responsibility for the good of the company and for his own professional development. Through my O3’s and coaching, I realized that he was willing and even eager to take on more, but there were some skills he was missing and were needed in order for him to be successful in taking on more. If it were not for the Coaching and consistent communication with him, I would have never identified this shortcoming. However, he would have agreed to take on more, and probably failed. I would have thought that he just wasn’t ready yet, or worse, given up on his development or career progression. He received the training he needed and became very successful in this new role I assigned him. This also had a unique side effect I wasn’t expecting but very pleased resulted. He gained a lot of trust in me, and I in him. He knew that I would challenge him, but I would ensure he had all the right tools to exceed. I knew that he would give me everything he had and then some. PUSH WORK DOWN     As a manager, you are constantly juggling more work than there are hours in the day. Then there comes that day when you get called into your manager’s office and she wants you to take on that new project that is critical achieving year-end sales. Now, what do you do? Your first response is to increase your headcount but you are told that is not an option. Besides, as an effective manager, this is your last resort anyway remember? You have to find a way to get more off your plate to make room for this new priority you now have on top of everything else. Your only recourse is to delegate some of your previous tasks down to one or more of your directs. Manager Tools teaches this delegation model and provides a step-by-step process to achieve this successfully.
