How to manage others for agency account managers, with Matt Plant

Welcome to Episode 28. This episode's for you if you're interested in managing other people. Maybe you're in an account manager role now and you're thinking that the next step up for you is going to be an account director role, where you're going to be responsible for a team. And you're wondering what skills you need and how you should prepare yourself for the role. So I persuaded an expert to come and talk to us. We talked all about how to manage other people,  and what skills you need to do the job effectively. the biggest changes people have to make when transitioning to managing others, and some of the biggest mistakes people make when managing others for the first time. the top three things people should consider when wanting to make that move, and some examples of the most successful people in manage managerial roles. Lots of value here and lots of tips and takeaways for you if you are thinking about this role. You may also notice that I'm quite familiar with the guest. This is because it's my brother, Matt Plant. He's been in training for over 20 years, working with with training companies like Hemsley Fraser, Virgin Atlantic, and he was in the training department for Energy Development Oman in the Middle East. He's worked with clients such as Rolls-Royce, Cancer Research, the Bank of England, and many, many other organisations, helping them with training and general learning interventions for lots of different topics. So he's probably the most expert person that I know. And whilst I do have many years managing others, I was never officially trained. So I hope you come away with some ideas for yourself when it comes to managing other people. And please do get in contact with Matt, to find out more details about his course that's coming up for managing others for new managers.
