In this episode of the Love Monday Podcast, I tackle a common workplace challenge: people managers who get stuck managing projects instead of leading their teams. If you’re a senior leader, I’ll share actionable strategies to help your frontline managers shift their focus from tasks to people. And if you’re a frontline manager yourself, you’ll learn how to empower your team to take ownership of projects so you can invest your time where it matters most—coaching, developing, and engaging your people.

We’ll dive into a proven process to transform project-heavy managers into true people leaders who drive engagement and team performance. You’ll walk away with practical advice for fostering team accountability, delegating project responsibilities effectively, and building a culture of growth and collaboration.

If you’re ready to stop managing projects and start leading people, this episode is for you. Hit play now, and let’s get your team thriving!
