  • Summary

  • If having to work with someone you don’t like resonates, or ‘don’t take it personally’ is something you hear or say often, tune in.

    In this episode, Damien DeBarra, a leader of talent and development design teams, reflects on some of the mistakes he has made as a manager and how he grew from these. He shares his thoughts on the link between anxiety and workplace behavioural issues, and how he has navigated these when dealing with difficult clients. His key takeaway is that managers cannot assume that the people they hire or engage with have developed core life skills, like how to get on with people. Damien also distinguishes between over-management and micro-management, shedding light on their impacts.
