In The Making

I Hated My First Management Job

The author recounts a toxic first management role at 21, then a transformative experience at a small SaaS firm that prioritized honesty, rapid issue resolution, and clear expectations. This cultural shift sparked personal growth, leading to better health, relationships, and a rapid career rise to Ops Director at a FTSE‑100 company. The author now scores highest manager feedback and attributes success to deliberate culture‑building practices. He invites readers to a free live workshop on March 25 to learn how to detect and reset slipping culture.
