Management
NHS Trust HR director Graham White provides an insight into people and workplace issues.

I have a new manager. It is their first management role and I feel I am not liked. No matter how hard I try it never seems to be enough. If I choose between two priorities, I should have done the other first. What can I do?

I was challenged by this question because sometimes as a manager one forgets to say 'well done' or 'good job'. It is an important part of being a manager to say how you feel about your team's work. However, in this question it seems to be more than just forgetfulness on the part of the manager. It will need bold action to try and address this and engage the new manager in order to jointly turn the situation around.
