The Blind Leading the Blind: Managing People When You Have No Idea What You're Doing

Managing people is hard enough, but it's even harder when you're clueless. Trust me,I know what I am talking about!

If you feel like a deer in headlights, you're not alone. In this talk, I'll give you some practical tips and tricks to help you fake it 'til you make it as a manager. I will cover the do's and don'ts of managing people, like listening to your team (even if they're speaking a different language) and setting clear expectations (so your team doesn't think you're speaking a different language). Also, I will discuss how to overcome "imposter syndrome" and adopt a growth mindset (so you can fake it even better next time).

Whether you're a new manager or just looking to improve your leadership skills, this talk will give you the confidence and humor you need to lead your team with style (even if your style is more "accidental leader" than "natural born boss").

Join Dennis for a fun and informative session that will make you laugh, learn, and leave feeling like the blind leading the blind isn't such a bad thing after all!
