“You'll Manage Challenge” episodes put theory into action, providing you a clear, achievable next step to up your management game within a week.

In Episode 9, Charlene Lee, head of product and design at Radar, spoke about the importance of building community and relationships at work. It's the perfect topic for a “You'll Manage Challenge”: A huge, daunting task that we can only start tackling bit by bit.

The community building You'll Manage Challenge

Your challenge this week is to take one deliberate step towards fostering a stronger community with your team. It can be small, like asking an icebreaker question at your next meeting, or bigger, like organizing a book club. It can be silly, like a dress-up day, or serious, like grouping new sets of people together on projects.

Every workplace and team community is different, so we can't tell you what exactly to try, but hopefully this episode provides some good options and a bit of inspiration.
