Dealing with the Pressures of Managing

This session debunks the famous metaphor of the manager as orchestra conductor—fully in control—and replaces it with some of the realities about the characteristics of managing: the hectic pace, the fragmented work, the interruptions, and more. How is anyone supposed to think, let alone think ahead, amidst all this?

The objectives for today’s session are to:

  • Bring managing off its pedestal, into its realities
  • Appreciate the characteristics of managerial work
  • Consider how best to deal with these challenges

Here's How it Works
