Vodcast Mentor Minds #4 – “Dare to trust your team”

In this fourth episode, we meet Steven and his mentor, Hans.

Steven is a member of the executive team at Sabam and manages four direct reports. His challenge was taking on full responsibility for a domain in which he had no prior experience, which made him feel uncertain at the start. On top of that, the organisation is undergoing a major transformation with a significant impact on his department.

This time, it’s not the typical case of an expert becoming a manager, but rather the opposite: a manager needing to build expertise in a new field.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• What happens when you become responsible for a domain you have no experience in? How can a mentor support you in that situation?
• How do you, as a manager, deal with major changes that significantly affect your department?
• Stakeholder management: how do you position yourself in relation to your CEO, your team members, and other stakeholders during a change process? And how can a mentor guide you through it?
