Barely Managing
A management blog by Alex Antra (Linktree)
Hello manager! (or manager in waiting)
Are you lost? Unsure what to do? Stuck with a specific problem? Are your superiors giving you no support? Is HR giving you generic answers and are the books on Amazon too expensive or useless?
Well I hope I can help. I care, I've been there before and I know what it feels like. I also care about your staff who deserve a confident and empathetic leader to look after them.
Here I hope you can find some help, some ideas, some comfort in how to improve your situation, your career, or your journey.
I strongly suggest you start with my Intro article You're barely managing to get a feel what this is all about.
If you feel this helps, I recommend you bookmark this page and return periodically, either when you next need help or to see the new content I have published.
Good luck.
I also offer coaching sessions for you to purchase should you need
