The latest episode of Best Manager Ever is a great listen for leaders who want to build more skill and comfort in “the people stuff”, even if they don’t see it as a natural strength. Douglas Hanna shares his own leadership journey from Grafana Labs, Zendesk, and now Kustomer -- and how he turned people skills into one of his superpowers. Here's a preview of the tactics that Doug recommends for others to replicate his success: • Understand your direct reports’ personal motivations and ambitions • Clarify other people's context and remit in the org, and keep that in mind  • Ask how people like to work, and share your own preferences • Build common language and tools to build compatibility, especially when preferences diverge • Look at work relationships as a partnership, with all team members on the same side of the table If you know a leader who views the "people stuff" as extra, fluffy, or separate from the business, send them this episode :) Doug says the people work became 98% of the job as he became more senior and the company scaled around him, and makes a compelling case for why this work is important to winning as a company. --- 🎧 You can listen to the show wherever you get podcasts, and I’ll link this episode in the comments.  --- 💫 Best Manager Ever is a production of Fort Light and Now It's Hear.
