Welcome to People Management, my latest podcast that coversthe essentials of what every manager needs to know to effectively manage the peoplewho work for you.  People are the key tosuccess in the modern knowledge economy and yet they are also often a manager’sbiggest headache.  Why?  Because people are unpredictable, capable ofboth stunning success and tragic failure. We have learned that human beings are literally capable of anything,both for good and for evil.

Hello, I’m Dr. Don Ford, a Human Resource managementconsultant who has seen the good, the bad and yes, the ugly when it comes tohuman relations in the workplace.  Inthis podcast series, I will share insights from a lifetime of study and workingwith people of all backgrounds and dispositions.  While I can’t guarantee success in everyhuman interaction, I can assure you that some strategies and skills clearlywork better than others.  The moreprepared managers are to deal with the full range of human emotions and behaviors,the better you will be able to successfully navigate the challenges thatleading others presents to every manager, no matter their level in the organizationsthey serve.

First up, I will discuss the all important issue of helpingemployees set effective work goals. Later podcasts will address feedback, teambuilding, hiring, evaluatingperformance, strategic planning and other people-centric issues that managersconfront every day.

Enjoy the learning journey and never stop improving!
