In this episode of Sparks, we dive into the realities of management with Emily Link and Ken Govan, both Directors at Cegos UK. From navigating bad management outside of work to finding your own management style, Emily and Ken share personal experiences, practical advice, and reflections on the ongoing journey of leadership. We discuss the evolution of a manager’s role, how to balance managing others while delivering on your own responsibilities, and how Cegos supports clients in building strong management capabilities. Whether you’re new to management or looking to refine your style, this conversation offers valuable insights you can apply straight away.--
