Today's episode of Working Hard, Hardly Working is one of our most highly requested solo episodes: it's all about how to be a better manager. Management truly is one of the most important skills to have in the workplace, but most of us are never taught how to do it. I find it so strange that it's one of those skills we're expected to just 'pick up' even though it's not a skill the majority of people specialise in when entering their careers, and it often doesn't come as second nature (it...
