Top YouTube Channels for New Managers

As a new manager, it can be intimidating to step into a leadership role. Leadership is a key quality that companies look for in their current and future employees, but it doesn’t always come easy. It’s a learned skill and even those outside of a traditional leadership position can benefit from learning how to be a stronger leader among your co-workers.

A true leader is someone who cares as much about his team members’ successes as his or her own. The ability of a team to synergize and play on one another’s strengths is of great value to a project or to a company as a whole. Your ability to inspire and motivate your team of colleagues is a strong indicator of your leadership acumen. Recognizing that leadership is about leading others, not just getting ahead, will show your commitment to your team and your company. Here are several YouTube channels that are a great place to get inspired and learn the skills you need to become the best manager you can be.
