Podcasts about management skills

Dr. Laura welcomes executive coach, author, and former Microsoft leader Sabina Nawaz for a discussion on what it really takes to become a manager people want to follow. Drawing from her own experience of shifting from a caring leader to one she no longer recognized under pressure, Sabina shares a deeply human perspective on how pressure, more than power, quietly shapes behavior at work. Dr. Laura and Sabina explore how even the most well-intentioned managers can fall into common traps that limit their teams, including the tendency to take on too much or unknowingly diminish others' contributions. They invite reflection on how leadership shows up in everyday moments and how small, intentional shifts can transform both personal effectiveness and team culture. Dr. Laura and Sabina unpack practical strategies to navigate busyness, create space for clearer thinking, and build feedback loops that support growth. Sabina introduces the concept of micro habits as a sustainable path to change, along with the importance of intentionally creating blank space to access deeper insight. The conversation also challenges conventional thinking about “leader” as a title, reframing leadership instead as a shared practice that can be activated by anyone. With warmth and professional curiosity, Dr. Laura guides a discussion that highlights how cultivating awareness and letting go of the need to have all the answers can unlock greater potential in managers and their teams. “It is not power that corrupts us. It is pressure, and under pressure we have a choice point.” - Sabina Nawaz About Sabina Nawaz: Sabina Nawaz is an elite executive coach who advises C-level executives and teams at Fortune 500 corporations, government agencies, nonprofits, and academic institutions around the world.

• Why the “I'll just do it” habit feels productive but creates long-term leadership problems • The difference between being the fastest person to solve a problem and the right person to solve it • How leaders unintentionally train teams to become dependent • The hidden cycle of organizational bottlenecks and learned helplessness • Why stepping in too quickly limits strategic thinking across the organization • The shift from reactive firefighting to building thinkers • Coaching questions that encourage ownership and better decision-making • How to scale leadership by multiplying thinking capacity instead of personal effort • Insights from Allison Dunn's book Think First: Stop Being the Bottleneck, Start Building Thinkers • Reflection question: “Where am I stepping in too quickly, and what is that teaching my team?” Think First

Warum werden Entscheidungen in Management-Meetings immer wieder vertagt – obwohl eigentlich genug Informationen auf dem Tisch liegen? In dieser Folge geht es genau um dieses Problem: Entscheidungen scheitern selten an fehlenden Daten, sondern daran, dass unklar ist, was eigentlich entschieden werden soll und wie. Michael Stiller zeigt, warum der reflexartige Ruf nach „mehr Daten“, „noch einer Analyse“ oder „einer zusätzlichen Studie“ häufig nur Zeit kostet, aber keine Entscheidung näherbringt. Der eigentliche Fehler liegt meist davor: Es fehlt eine klare Entscheidungslogik. Dazu unterscheidet er drei grundlegende Entscheidungsprobleme, die in der Praxis oft vermischt oder gar nicht benannt werden: - Zielprobleme (Was wollen wir eigentlich erreichen?), - Suchprobleme (Welche Informationen brauchen wir wirklich?), - Auswahlprobleme (Nach welchen Kriterien entscheiden wir?). Anhand typischer Situationen aus Management-Meetings erklärt er, - warum unklare Ziele Entscheidungen blockieren, - wie zu breite Informationssuche Prozesse verlangsamt, - und weshalb fehlende Auswahlregeln Diskussionen politisch statt wirksam machen.

What we cover: Why neutral leadership feels reasonable but creates unintended consequences How silence communicates standards more powerfully than words The subtle way culture drifts through unaddressed moments Why high performers feel the impact of inconsistency first The real reason capable leaders avoid addressing issues The connection between neutral leadership and autopilot decision-making A practical leadership lens: “If I don't address this, what am I teaching my team?” How to address issues without becoming reactive or overly critical The long-term cultural cost of avoidance Key takeaway: Leadership is always teaching. The question is whether you are teaching intentionally or by default. Think First

I'd love to hear from you 'text the show'WelcomeWelcome back to the Treat Your Business podcast. This is a short, sharp episode, because you do not always need 20 or 30 minutes of me talking to get a powerful takeaway. Sometimes you just need the right questions.Episode summaryI have just come off the back of an annual strategy session with my leadership team, and the outcome I cared about most was not the numbers, the plan, or the targets. It was clarity. Absolute clarity on the vision for the next 12 months and what we stand for as a team.In this episode, I talk about how a lack of clarity does not just show up as confusion. It shows up as hesitation, inconsistency, lack of ownership, and your team passing problems back to you so everything runs through you. Clarity is not your team's responsibility, it is yours. Your job is to create the vision, communicate it, repeat it, embed it, and live it in every conversation and decision.I leave you with a set of questions to help you check whether your team truly understands where the business is going, what you stand for, and how their role connects to the bigger picture.Key takeawaysClarity is the real outcome that creates momentum, not just plans and targets.If I asked your team what the next 12 months looks like, would they all say the same thing? If not, the vision is not clear enough.Lack of clarity often looks like hesitation, inconsistency, and people not stepping up.Clarity is my responsibility as the leader. I need to communicate it, repeat it, and embed it consistently.Values are not useful if they are just words on a wall. They need to be defined in behaviours and lived day to day.If my team cannot connect their day-to-day work to where the business is going, they will default to “just doing my job” and waiting to be told.I do not need to hold all the “how” myself. A clear vision allows multiple brains to contribute to making it happen.A good self check is noticing where I am saying “they need to step up”, when what is actually missing is more clarity from me.If this episode hit a nerve, that is usually where the opportunity is. If you know your business lacks clarity right now, that is probably the place to start. Thanks for listening, and I will be back next week.Treat Your Business podcast is proudly sponsored by MBST, the groundbreaking technology revolutionising recovery and rehabilitation.

Are you building an AI workforce that actually increases your business worth—or just adding more complexity to your team? You're probably feeling the pressure to adopt AI, but the real challenge isn't the technology—it's figuring out how to use it effectively without exposing your data, slowing your team down, or making costly hiring mistakes. This episode flips the script by showing you how AI isn't just a tool—it's something you need to manage like a team. If you've ever wondered why AI initiatives stall or why your team struggles to get value from it, this conversation will hit close to home. By listening, you'll walk away with: A smarter way to think about managing an AI workforce using the same skills you use to lead people Practical insight into protecting your data while still moving fast with AI adoption Real-world lessons from scaling companies on hiring, leadership, and avoiding costly mistakes in high-growth environments Hit play now to learn how to turn AI from a confusing experiment into a managed asset that actually drives results.

 This week, we will focus on Management Skills. Managers have a slightly different skill set than leaders. Once the path is already created, the manager makes the movement along that path more efficient and effective. So the leader creates the plan. Then, the manager implements the plan in the most efficient way possible. If you're a leader looking to get into management or just a manager looking to improve yourself, these 5 skills are absolutely necessary to your success. Show Notes: 5 Important Management Skills to Make Your Workplace More Efficient(https://www.leadersinstitute.com/5-important-management-skills-to-make-your-workplace-more-efficient/)

Most leaders don't struggle with motivation—they struggle with clarity. In this episode, we break down why teams miss expectations even when goals seem “clear,” and how leaders unintentionally create confusion, overwhelm, and misalignment.This conversation dives deep into the four root causes behind execution failure: unclear goals, vague expectations, unconfirmed commitment, and delayed accountability. You'll learn practical leadership frameworks to replace assumption with alignment—without micromanaging or becoming reactive.What You'll Learn: • Why silence and nodding are not signs of agreement • How to set goals that actually drive results • The four elements every clear expectation must include • How to confirm understanding and commitment—before execution fails • Why accountability should feel fair, predictable, and supportiveKey Takeaway: Great leadership isn't about saying things better—it's about confirming they were understood.FREE Resource Mentioned: • Leadership Clarity Toolkit - DOWNLOADCall to Action: Download the Leadership Clarity Toolkit and start leading with precision, confidence, and consistency.

Does getting promoted literally rewire your brain to lose empathy? The science says YES.

In this episode, Cindy Esliger addresses the myth that managing people is the only way up the career ladder. We're often told that stepping up into management is the only way to advance in our workplace, but shoving people into management roles unprepared can come with devastating fallout. Both the managers and employees find that the move exacts a painful toll. Cindy explains why it's critical to rethink how careers can grow and employees can advance beyond people management. Leadership and success do not have to be synonymous with managing people.   Managing people requires a very different set of skills than most people imagine. Cindy breaks down four of the key things managers are responsible for: 1. Morale, 2. Performance, 3. Retention, and 4. Culture. As Cindy notes, “a great manager is in the trenches with their people, shaping how employees experience the workplace”, and not everyone is cut out to do this. We've all had bad managers, and they may have been people promoted into management positions without preparation, told that it was the only way to advance.If we do end up in a management role, Cindy offers six strategies to add to our toolkits: 1. Have people create informal personal operating manuals, 2. Ask the right question, 3. Balance, 4. Practice presence and curiosity, 5. Brush up on conflict resolution and stress management skills, and 6. Set and enforce boundaries. But if we aren't ready for managing people, Cindy urges us to ask where we can thrive and how we can make the biggest difference on an alternate path. Roles like Principal Engineer, Distinguished Scientist, and Senior Strategist are designed for those who want to deepen impact without taking on direct reports. The goal isn't just climbing higher, it's building the career we actually want.Resources discussed in this episode:Guide to Redefining Career Growth Beyond ManagementAstronomic AudioConfidence Collective—Contact Cindy Esliger Career Confidence Coaching: website | instagram | facebook | linkedin | email Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode, I dive deep into the critical aspects of effective business management, sharing insights from my own journey growing a 50+ employee company with plans for expansion. I break down three key elements every leader must master: becoming a leader worth following with a vision so compelling others want to be part of it, cultivating high-energy leadership that pulls people forward instead of pushing them, and committing to constant development through conferences, training, and reading. I explain how my realization that I'm becoming the bottleneck in our growth has led to a new strategy of quarterly leadership training for both myself and team members. Whether you're managing a small team or scaling to hundreds of employees, this conversation offers practical advice for improving your leadership presence, protecting your energy, and developing a leadership pipeline that allows your company to grow beyond your personal capacity.

Are you stuck in a cycle of trying out new project management tools—Trello, Asana, Notion—only to abandon them weeks later? You're not alone. No tool will save your writing or publication pipeline if you haven't first developed core project management skills. In this episode, I explain why building project management skills must come before adopting a project management tool. If you're feeling overwhelmed with your writing tasks, due dates, or collaborative projects, it's not because you haven't found the “right” app—it's because foundational skills like discernment and time management aren't fully developed yet. Before you invest energy (and money) in the latest software, you need clarity on how you work and how to support your writing with solid workflows. Tune in to learn how to build the academic project management skills that will advance your writing and publication projects, allowing you to select a project management tool that works with you, not against you.

Why organizational strategy can be both top-down and bottom-up.As Professor Jesper Sørensen sees it, a winning strategy is the result of conversations, not commands, and that strategy can be directed from the C-suite, but it doesn't have to be. “Lots of great strategies are discovered,” he says, “they're discovered because the leaders were able to listen to their frontline workers or their frontline managers.” A more iterative approach, says Sørensen, helps companies adapt their strategy to an ever-changing landscape.In the latest episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Sørensen joins host and lecturer Matt Abrahams to discuss how organizations can use better communication to craft better strategies.Episode Reference Links:Stanford GSB Profile: Jesper B.
