Are you considering moving into a people manager role, but are not sure if that is the right move for you? This panel discussion will cover the perspective of an individual who is trying to decide if managing people is the right move for them. Panelists include an individual who made the move and are glad that they did, an individual who chose not to become a manager, and an individual who took a manager role and determined that was not the right path for them. This panel discussion will be interactive and helpful as you try to make your next decision.

Learning Objectives:

  • Identify the questions when considering a people management role.
  • Describe different career paths outside of supervisory.
  • Assess whether the management career path is right for you.
