Hi, I’m Monica!
After 15+ years in HRBP and leadership development roles across high-growth tech startups, Atlassian, Twitter, and Deloitte, I’ve seen how fast the workplace can shift. Today, as leaders increasingly turn to AI for answers, how we approach people management is changing entirely.
Most management content is either too corporate or too robotic (🤖 beepboop beepboop), and built for a workplace that no longer exists. That’s why I created Management Untangled….to examine the weird, changing, surprisingly human job of being a manager in an AI-powered workplace.
Through Management Untangled (@mgmtuntangled), I aim to help leaders prepare for what’s next and explore how to navigate this new era without losing the human core of your job: your judgment, your team’s trust, and real human connection.
I dive into the messy dilemmas that don’t get a clean answer – like managing underperformers who used to be your peers, or figuring out when to trust an AI bot versus your own gut. (Hint: your gut knows more than you think 🤓)! I also dig into the bigger questions every manager is quietly sitting with: what judgment actually looks like when AI can generate answers in seconds, and what leadership means as it’s evolving.
Who this is for: Middle managers and people leaders navigating the space between their teams and executive leadership.
