Season 9 | Ep 100 | Team Member to Manager with Allyns Melendez

How do you shift your mindset from an individual contributor to a manager mindset? How do you split yourself into all the needed buckets for everyone to move the needle forward? As a manager, it’s important to understand what’s valuable to your team members and what you can do differently to help them to perform at their best.
