Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

I'm not sure what his financial situation is like, but as for work experience. He was a good leading hand, unfortunately he has been raised up to a management role, which I think he has the ability for but received no mentoring or training. So his management style is very hit or miss, it has been 6 months since I worked with him; but I doubt it has changed.

He is a really nice, capable person, but I think he would benefit from taking a step back to lower in the management level with a good mentor for 2-3 years; where he could refine his style and processes.

The people that put him in his current role were very much "bums on seats" type people, but without the knowledge/capacity to train those that they put in the positions. Dropping someone into a role that they can't do does no favors for anyone.
