Why do it?

People management? Anyone can do that right? I grew up with people, I know how to talk to them, I'm around them al the time - how hard can it be!

Some managers take the pay rise when promoted to manager and think this might just be about doing a bit of admin and delegating tasks. But people-management is so much more than that: from developing to managing performance, from difficult conversations to motivation and succession planning.

The risk of getting it wrong is good people leaving and, worse, an employment tribunal claim if you make too many mistakes with your people! This doesn't happen in our dealings with friends and family (mostly!) but it does when we put the 'manager' badge on at work. So, we need to equip people-managers with a set of techniques and tools to make it a positive and painless experience for all.
