What does it really mean to invest in people as a manager? In this episode of The Manager’s Field Guide, Wendy Lowen sits down with Daniel Anthony Doerksen and Chris Downey, co-authors of You Can Manage: A Practical Guide to Becoming the Manager Everybody Wants, to explore the second essential of effective management: investing in people.
Many managers are promoted because they excel at the work itself. Yet success in management depends just as much on building strong relationships, creating trust, and helping people grow. Dan and Chris unpack why the "people stuff" is not a distraction from the work but a fundamental part of it.
