How Knowing Yourself Makes You a Better Manager with Trelleborg's Sara Milesson
“What effect does my behaviour have on the people around me?”
This was one of the main talking points of the latest Talent Intelligence Podcast where host Alan McFadden sat down with Sara Milesson, VP of HR at Trelleborg.
Clearly someone who has done a lot of self-reflection on her leadership style, Sara admits that she can come across as intimidating – but she’s put the time and effort into changing that and making herself a better leader and manager.
According to Sara, the pandemic did a lot to change her management style and made her take a step back and consider what was best for the team overall, not just the leadership team.
She also believes that knowing who you are is a vital trait for being a good leader.
Sara and Alan dig deeper into these points in this episode, and look at:
- How to better enable managers to become better managers
- How to improve communication with your team
- Why tech can be both a help and a hindrance
- And what Sara would go back and tell herself at the beginning of her career
