As a first time manager you have a lot to learn and juggle, not only do you have to do the best for your team, but also for your management team too- get it wrong and you're ignored and get your team wrong and they won't work for you. But what happens when you're ready to roll your sleeves up and do the best and your idea that you cheerfully gave to your management meeting gets ignored and yet that very next meeting someone senior says the same idea, and everyone applauds - what do you do now? What should you do? In this episode I talk through your precarious situation and give guidance on how you should play things.
