Podcasts about managers

When you've lived through Hollywood blockbusters and Silicon Valley start-ups, you collect a few lessons about focus, fear and meaning. In this episode, Andy Goram talks with Steven Puri, founder of The Sukha Company, about the link between creativity, purpose and deep work. Steven's career has spanned DreamWorks, Fox and tech ventures — but today his focus is on something subtler: helping people find ease and meaning in what they do. This conversation isn't about hacks or hustle. It's about what really drives us — why we work, how fear holds us back, and how we can find the calm, creative flow that comes when purpose and focus align. Warm, honest and deeply human, it's an episode about living — and working — with Sukha. ----more---- Key Takeaways Purpose gives depth to performance. Before chasing productivity, ask why you want to perform. Meaning drives mastery. Leadership is about drawing out greatness. Managers track tasks; leaders help people shine. Fear blocks flow. Psychological safety frees creativity and purpose. Sukha means alignment, not effort. Ease and joy appear when you're doing the work you're meant to do. ----more---- Key Moments The key moments in this episode are: 0:01:17 – Purpose, Fear and Flow: An Unplanned Conversation 0:05:01 – The Story Behind The Sukha Company 0:08:25 – The Customer Who Defined Sukha 0:14:45 – Leadership and Drawing Out Greatness 0:17:48 – Fear, Failure and the Role of Psychological Safety 0:21:09 – Lessons from Spielberg: The Best Idea Wins 0:25:01 – Meaning, Emotion and Purposeful Work 0:33:12 – Living with Intention, Flow and Focus 0:44:55 – Steven's Three Sticky Notes of Advice ----more---- Join The Conversation Find Andy Goram on LinkedIn here Listen to the Podcast on YouTube here Follow the Podcast on Instagram here Follow the Podcast on Twitter here Follow the Podcast on Facebook here Check out the Bizjuicer website here Get a free consultation with Andy here Check out the Bizjuicer blog here Download the podcast here ----more---- Useful Links Follow Steven Puri on LinkedIn here Find the Sukah Company website here ----more---- Full Episode Transcript Get the full transcript of the episode here

Wrestling has been uneventful lately, but recent developments on SmackDown have sparked interest.Drew McIntyre is being positioned as a key member of "the Vision" stable, possibly replacing Seth Rollins.Drew has lost many matches in the past, but aligning him with Paul Heyman and others could revitalize his character.Bronson Reed is being elevated and is no longer treated as a secondary character.WWE often struggles to build multiple stars at once, focusing too much on one or two at a time.The Bloodline and Judgment Day stables succeeded because every member had a role and story.There's skepticism about WWE's long-term planning, especially with sudden changes due to injuries.Merchandise and branding are a big focus, sometimes at the expense of storytelling.Judgment Day members are likely to become babyfaces soon due to their popularity.Managers are lacking in WWE; bringing back more managers could help talent who struggle with promos.The women's division is giving midcard titles to less experienced but marketable wrestlers.Some matches and segments (e.g., Maxine Dupree vs. Becky Lynch, Jade Cargill's push) are criticized for prioritizing looks over in-ring skill.Ticket and merchandise prices are rising, but many feel the product quality isn't keeping up.Nostalgia acts (like John Cena) are used to boost interest, but there's concern about what comes after.The show's structure sometimes puts the biggest moments at the start, making the rest feel less important.There's debate about past booking decisions, like John Cena's role in the Nexus storyline.New talent like Jevon Evans shows promise, but there's concern about how WWE will develop them.The episode ends with thanks to listeners and promotion for related shows.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/wrestling-soup--1425249/support.

This article delves into strategies managers can utilize to enhance one-on-one sessions with their subordinates. Here's how to develop managerial skills that inspire and empower. Key Takeaways Leadership is Service: Your role as a manager is not just to manage tasks but to support, inspire, and develop the team around you. Personalization and Preparation in One-on-Ones: Tailor your approach to each individual based on their unique strengths, learning styles, and motivational triggers. Continuous Feedback and Growth: Consistently evaluate and reconcile projections and actual performance to encourage ongoing development. Leadership as a Service to Your Team In today's fast-paced automotive landscape, the role of a leader transcends traditional boundaries of direction and oversight. It's about providing every conceivable resource for team success, from emotional to technical support. Sean V. Bradley insightfully points out that "a manager's job is literally defined in my opinion as…to provide all of the resources that my team is going to need." Transforming Managerial Role Managers often adopt an authoritarian style, dictating without understanding team dynamics. The transcript challenges this narrative, emphasizing the value of empathy and understanding in leadership. By adopting a servant-leadership mindset, managers can "coach, mentor, teach, inspire, lead, and train," fostering an environment where employees thrive. "You get to do this. You are a manager. You get the opportunity to coach, mentor, teach, inspire, lead, and train a human being," Bradley asserts. Impact on Team Culture Adopting such strategies transforms team cultures, enhancing how team members interact internally and with customers. A working environment characterized by high morale and effective communication will naturally yield better results. Moreover, it ensures higher retention rates, with employees feeling valued and understood—a crucial asset amidst the high turnover rates plaguing the industry. The Art of Personalization and Preparation in One-on-Ones Preparation marks the fine line between a productive one-on-one and a mundane meeting. It's not just about showing up with a checklist but about tailored engagement. Managers like Sean emphasize the importance of knowing your team members on a deeper level—what motivates and challenges them. Creating a Comprehensive Employee Profile A pivotal aspect of efficient one-on-ones is crafting personalized employee profiles. Sean advises, "Create a personalized profile. I want to know about my subordinates; I want to know your home situation, your hobbies, and what's important to you." Understanding personal motivations and struggles allows managers to customize their support and development strategies, enhancing engagement and improving performance. Tailoring Communication and Feedback Success lies in adaptation and personalization. For instance, adapting communication strategies based on individual team members' learning styles—whether they are kinesthetic or auditory learners—ensures that feedback and instruction resonate effectively. "Seek first to understand and then to be understood," Bradley suggests, highlighting the importance of communication tailored to personal needs. Continuous Feedback and Growth Through Iterative Projections Effective managers excel at steering their team towards continuous growth by understanding and evaluating performance iteratively. Sean notes that "there needs to be a tracking system. Your salespeople should be tracking…what type? Am I taking a walk-in up?" Such methodologies help in identifying trends and areas needing improvement. The Power of Projections and Reconciliation Forward-planning complemented by effective back-tracking is key to sustained progress. Managers need to emphasize clarity in projections and consistency in follow-through. "Help him establish his vision board…if your why is so important, what you have to do is not going to matter," Bradley explains, articulating the need for motivational alignment with practical goals. Bridging Gaps through Insightful Reconciliation Reconciliation between projected and actual outcomes ensures actionable feedback loops. This involves dissecting deviations, recognizing patterns, and recalibrating goals. A manager's ability to "reconcile with him…what their projected and forecast was basically with their actual results" empowers employees, encouraging accountability and learning. Realizing the Potential of Effective Management Equipped with insight and strategies, managers now have the tools to transform how they conduct one-on-ones. By adopting a leadership model focused on service, personalization, and continuous feedback, these interactions can meaningfully enhance team dynamics and productivity. Embrace these principles to inspire, nurture, and lead your automotive teams into a future defined by progress and innovation. This strategic alignment between leadership vision and practical execution fosters an environment where continual improvement is not simply encouraged, but truly becomes second nature, paving the way for sustained success and satisfaction across the board.   Resources + Our Proud Sponsors: ➼ The Millionaire Car Salesman Facebook Group: Join the #1 Mastermind Group in the Automotive Industry with over 29,000 members worldwide.

One of the biggest challenges facing HR is the perennial challenge of leadership capability. Despite years of investment in programmes, frameworks, and workshops, many organisations still struggle to see real behavioural change. The world around us is moving faster, the expectations on leaders are higher, and yet our development approaches can still feel generic, theoretical, and removed from the realities of day-to-day work. But what if technology - and specifically, AI - could help us do it differently? Instead of a one-size-fits-all course, what if every manager could have a personalised coach in their pocket that gives them real-time, practical guidance in the moment they need it most? To explore the benefits and risks of AI coaching, Lucy is joined by Anand Chopra-McGowan, Managing Director, Europe at Valence. Anand explains how Nadia, Valence's AI coach, learns your context (company principles, programmes, your team) and supports both the “small moments” such as a tricky feedback chat, and the “big moments” like onboarding and performance reviews. He shares a live example of using Nadia minutes before a meeting, why perfect memory beats good intentions, and how the tool integrates where managers already are . We dig into trust and ethics, what data Nadia uses, and how clients are measuring value - from time saved on reviews to uplift in leadership effectiveness scores and store-level customer outcomes. Anand's deployment advice is refreshingly practical: point the coach at high-friction moments in your HR calendar, customise to your ways of working, and use early wins to convert sceptics.

Executives and managers both have two core responsibilities that inform all else that they do. But the two key responsibilities are different between managers and executives. Managers manage; executives lead.

Send us a textPeaches and Trent are back in the team room—no script, no filter, and somehow their best Operator Training Summit yet. Coming straight off the Nashville event, they pull the curtain back on what really happens when 40 candidates, a handful of coaches, and a mountain of gear collide in one turf-covered facility.Peaches dishes on how sleeping indoors, training for 11 hours in the pool, and running the dreaded 10-ups turned chaos into confidence. Trent talks logistics, lessons learned, and how every OTS somehow tops the last. Together they lay out what's coming next—Vegas, Europe, and maybe a few surprises along the way.Then the gloves come off as they shift from pool decks to policy: leadership gone soft, PME that teaches nothing, and a culture allergic to accountability.

Send us a textHey friends — this week, I'm talking about something close to my heart: positivity — not the fake-it-till-you-make-it kind, but the quiet confidence that goodness still exists, even when life feels heavy and out of balance. I'll share stories from my week — like seeing my daughter and her foster kittens (Solstice and Equinox) and how a walk around Silver Lake reminded me that we can stay grounded. I'll also tell you the story of The Seashells of Positivity. We'll look at the science behind positivity, including research by Sonja Lyubomirsky, Laura King, and Ed Diener (2005) showing that people who experience frequent positive emotions live healthier, more fulfilling lives. I also link to one of my favorite resources — the Calm Master Class on Happiness by Shawn Achor, which explores the science of choosing happiness intentionally.

Raudline Etienne remembers seeing a Knight Foundation report that said the percentage of assets that minority and women-owned firms manage in aggregate was less than 2% of a multi-trillion dollar industry. “I found it to be offensive,” she recalls in this conversation with host Ann Terrell Dorsett. “I realized that there was so much talent out there that wasn't getting the opportunity and the fact that I was willing to be first was something that would help move the ball forward.” Raudline's solution was to create Daraja Capital, a seeding platform that lowers the barriers of entry for aspiring fund managers.

Lors d'une conférence, j'ai demandé à la salle :« Qui parmi vous a été formé à la psychologie du travail ? » Sur une centaine de managers, deux mains se sont levées. Deux.Et pourtant, tous géraient des équipes, des personnalités, des émotions, des tensions… chaque jour.C'est de là qu'est née la question de cet épisode de Happy Work :

En 2019, il hérite d'un établissement en pleine crise institutionnelle avec une rupture de confiance entre la direction et les équipes.Convaincu que le management hospitalier est la clé de voûte de toute transformation, il prend un pari audacieux : miser sur la formation pour porter un style de management plus collaboratif, plus participatif.Son objectif : créer un changement culturel profond en redonnant aux équipes un pouvoir d'agir concret sur les problèmes du quotidien.Dans ce cadre, il confie à Lowpital la formation des managers de l'établissement au Design Thinking en Santé.2 ans après le lancement de cette initiative, avec plus de 80 managers formés par nos soins, il nous livre son retour d'expérience et les impacts de la formation DTS dans son établissement :Le dialogue a changé : les plaintes sont remplacées par des solutionsLes équipes proposent et partagent leurs réussitesLes victoires du quotidien redonnent du sens au travailCet épisode est extrait de l'agora “Former 80 managers au design thinking : le pari audacieux du CH Annecy Genevois. Retours et résultats d'une démarche innovante “ organisée à Santexpo en mai dernier avec Vincent Delivet, Aude Nyadanu et Anne Morel, cadre de santé au CHANGE et ancienne apprenante de la formation.Vous pouvez retrouver le replay complet sur notre site et la chaîne Youtube de Santexpo.

From Setbacks to Strengths — Building Human-Centered Performance in the Age of AIIn this week's episode, Sacha sits down with Alfredo Borodowski—consultant, keynote speaker, and leading voice in positive psychology—to explore how purpose + strengths can transform leadership, culture, and performance (without the burnout theater).From a storied journey across law, theology, and clinical therapy to guiding leaders at companies like Motorola and nonprofits across the Americas, Alfredo reveals a science-backed playbook for resilient teams and sustainable growth. His upcoming book, The Human Upgrade: The Future of Leadership in the AI Revolution, shows why the most valuable asset in a tech-saturated world is still deeply human.We dig into:The 4-stage operating system: Fix → Strengths → Psychological Capital → BecomingWhy “soft skills” are the hard skills—and the research that proves they drive resultsStrengths blindness: 70% don't know their top 5; knowing → 9× potential, applying → 18×The 3:1 positivity ratio (and why it's the manager's secret weapon)Perseverance as the #1 predictor of sustained performanceBusting myths: burnout ≠ badge of honor, pressure ≠ excellence, “cut the weak link” ≠ culturePurpose first, results follow: rediscovering mission to prevent silent founder burnoutAI & leadership: why the human edge—empathy, meaning, connection—becomes premiumPractical workshops, games, and case-based coaching teams can replicate immediately

Humans have a natural tendency to go all or nothing: either fully engaged or completely checked out, either totally into fitness or eating an entire pizza in 45 seconds, either saving every penny or emptying the bank account. In this episode, we challenge that mindset by introducing the concept of levers versus dials. Levers are simple: on or off. But dials give you nuance, flexibility, and control. Dials are harder to manage.   We explore why leaders need multiple dials and how knowing when to turn them up or down can transform team performance. From the employee perspective, we talk about how this approach impacts workload and engagement. Managers will learn how to fine-tune leadership behaviors for different situations. Executives will reflect on how dialing in strategy creates sustainable success.   Because leadership isn't about flipping a switch.   Have questions about this topic?

Newly promoted and still stuck in "super-doer" mode? Here's how to rebalance control, culture, and delegation so the whole team scales—safely and fast.  Why do new managers struggle when they're promoted from "star doer" to "leader"? Because your brain stays in production mode while your job has shifted to people, culture, and systems. After promotion, you're accountable not only for your own KPIs but for the entire team's outcomes. It's tempting to cling to tasks you control—dashboards, sequencing, reporting—because they're tangible and quick wins. But 2025 leadership in Japan, Australia, the US, and Europe demands more: setting strategy, articulating vision, and developing capability. The pivot is psychological—move from "I produce" to "I enable production," or you'll cap growth and burn out. Do now: List your top five "leader-only" responsibilities and five tasks to delegate this week; schedule handovers with owners and dates.  Mini-summary: New leaders fail by over-doing; succeed by re-wiring attention from personal output to team capability. What's the practical difference between managing processes and leading people? Managers ensure things are done right; leaders ensure we're doing the right things—and growing people as we go.Processes secure quality, timeliness, budget discipline, and compliance. Leadership adds direction: strategy, culture, talent development, and context setting. Across sectors—manufacturing in Aichi, B2B SaaS in Seattle, retail in Sydney—over-indexing on process alone turns humans into "system attachments," stifling initiative and innovation. Over-indexing on people without controls risks safety, regulatory breaches, and inconsistent delivery. The art is dynamic dosage: tighten or loosen controls as competency, risk, and stakes shift. Do now: For each workflow, rate "risk" and "competency." High risk/low competency → tighter checks; low risk/high competency → more autonomy.  Mini-summary: Processes protect, people propel; leaders tune both based on risk and capability. How much control is "just enough" without killing initiative or risking compliance? Use the guardrail test: prevent safety/compliance violations while leaving room for stretch, accountability, and growth. Post-pandemic supply chains, ESG scrutiny, and Japan's regulator expectations mean leaders can't "set and forget." Too few checks invite fines—or jail time for accountable officers; too many checks create Theory X micromanagement that freezes learning. Borrow from Toyota's jidoka spirit: stop the line when risk spikes, but otherwise let teams problem-solve. In SMEs and startups, standardise the critical few controls (safety, security, data) and keep the rest principle-based to preserve speed. Do now: Write a one-page "controls charter" listing non-negotiables (safety, compliance) and "managed freedoms" (experiments, pilots, scope to improve).  Mini-summary: Guardrails first, freedom second—enough control to stay legal and safe, enough autonomy to develop people. How do I stop doing my team's work and start scaling through delegation? Delegate outcomes, not chores—and accept short-term pain for long-term scale. Many first-time managers keep their player tasks because they distrust others or fear being accountable for mistakes. That works for a quarter, not a year. By FY2026, targets rise while your personal capacity doesn't. Multinationals from Rakuten to Siemens train leaders to assign the "what" and "why," agree on milestones and quality criteria, then coach on the "how." Expect a temporary dip as skills climb; measure trajectory, not perfection. Do now: Pick two tasks you still hoard. Define success, constraints, and checkpoints; delegate by Friday, then coach at the first checkpoint.  Mini-summary: Let go to grow; specify outcomes and coach to capability. How can I balance micro-management and neglect in day-to-day leadership? Replace "hovering" and "hands-off" with scheduled, high-leverage follow-up. Micromanagement announces low trust; neglect announces low care. Instead, run structured check-ins: purpose, progress, problems, pivots. In regulated environments (banks, healthcare, manufacturing), confirm evidence of controls; in creative or GTM teams, probe learning, experiments, and customer signals. Across APAC, leaders who share decision frameworks (RACI/DACI; risk thresholds; escalation paths) cut rework and surprise escalations. Do now: Implement a weekly 20-minute "PPP" per direct report—Progress (facts), Problems (risks), Pivots (next choices)—with artefacts attached in advance.  Mini-summary: Neither smother nor ignore—use predictable, evidence-based check-ins to align and de-risk. When should leaders "lead from the front" versus "get out of the way"? Front-load leadership in ambiguity; step back once clarity, competence, and controls exist. In crises, new markets, or safety-critical launches, visible, directive leadership calms noise and sets pace (think: first 90 days of a turnaround or a factory start-up). As routines stabilise, flip to servant leadership: remove blockers, broker resources, and celebrate small wins. In Japan, Nemawashi-style groundwork before meetings accelerates execution; in the US and Europe, crisp owner-dated action registers keep speed without rework. The best leaders oscillate based on context, not ego. Do now: For each initiative, label its phase (Explore/Build/Run). Explore = lead hands-on; Build = co-pilot; Run = empower with audits.  Mini-summary: Lead hard in fog; empower once the road is clear and guardrails hold. Conclusion: your real job is capability, culture, and controlled freedom Great organisations don't trade people for process or vice-versa—they orchestrate both. As of 2025, the winners grow leaders who tune controls to risk, develop people faster than targets rise, and delegate outcomes with smart follow-up. Stop carrying the team on your back. Build a team that carries the work—safely, compliantly, and proudly.  Optional FAQs Is micromanagement ever right? Only for high-risk, low-competency tasks; use it briefly, with a plan to taper. What if my team is slower than me? That's normal initially; coach cadence and quality, not perfection. How do I avoid regulator trouble? Document controls, evidence checks, and incident response paths; audit monthly. What do I say to ex-peers I now manage? Reset expectations: new role, shared goals, clear decision rights, and escalation routes.  Next steps for leaders/executives Write your one-page controls charter and review it with Legal/Compliance. Convert two "player" tasks into delegated outcomes this week. Install weekly PPP check-ins with artefacts attached in advance. Map each initiative to Explore/Build/Run and adjust your involvement accordingly.  Author Credentials Dr. Greg Story, Ph.D. in Japanese Decision-Making, is President of Dale Carnegie Tokyo Training and Adjunct Professor at Griffith University.

Dan Wilson did not win AL Manager of the Year last night, he finished 3rd behind Schneider and Vogt, who won for the 2nd straight year. Did the voters get it right? Are today's successful managers and coaches coddling players? Are players too soft? Or have the Managers and Coaches just figured out how to communicate in a more gentle way and still get the message across? :30- MacDonald vs McVay: The Defensive guru vs the Offensive whiz, a battle of the Mc's. Both QB's are getting MVP chatter, both Offenses are top 5 and both defenses are top 5 as well. NFL power rankings have both teams 1 & 2 this week and while it's not a make or break game, a win would be a huge boost for either team. :45- The CFP rankings saw some shakeups in week 2; what stood out and some big matchups this weekend could have a BIG effect on next week's rankings.

The car business feels broken right now.Showrooms are quiet. Sales teams are restless. Managers are asking the same question:“Is it slow out there, or is it just us?”Everyone's looking for answers — but the truth isn't in the rumors or social media posts.
