#138 – A Good Manager Will Listen

April 11, 2017 By Chase Clemons

Next up in our “Every Good Manager Will…” series is an important one that often gets overlooked. Managers tend to focus on action – do this, don’t do that, etc. On this episode, we talk about the idea that “Regardless of seniority, every good manager will listen.”

#137 – A Good Manager Will…

March 28, 2017 By Chase Clemons

It’s new series time here around the show. There was a great Tweet that caught my eye, both because it’s a great prompt and had a great conversation thread alongside it.

“Regardless of seniority, every good manager will” and you get to fill in the blank.

With this series, we’re filling in that blank. And on this episode, we’re talking about encouraging and developing each team member.

“Regardless of seniority, every good manager will encourage and develop each of their team members.”

This week we’re talking about one of the most important boundaries to set – your time. We look at ways to control how much time you spend on your work and how much of your time people grab for themselves. Best of all, you’ll hear how each of us says “no” to protect our own time.

#132 – Share Often

January 31, 2017 By Chase Clemons

If you don’t have clear boundaries on when to share one’s work, a person can get wrapped up in it and let it become part of them. If/when the work doesn’t pan out, that person can get discouraged and frustrated. All that brings us to this week’s question – how much work should you let your team put into a project before sharing?
