Podcasts about managers

Andy Frasco and Nick ditch the guest format and go fully unfiltered on this episode of Andy Frasco's World Saving Podcast, tackling one of the most honest conversations in the jam-band world, including who needs to quit and why. The episode spirals into a ruthless (and mostly bleeped) breakdown of bands that should probably hang it up, bands that should come back, and why the scene feels oversaturated right now. From there, the target shifts to managers, why so many are five years behind, terrified of other managers, and still throwing money at the same tired marketing playbook. They also dig into the state of the music industry, from festival economics and oversaturation to why so many bands refuse to quit and why managers keep recycling the same outdated ideas. It's an inside look at how scenes get clogged, why presales matter, and what actually hurts live music in 2026. Producer Jack drops in to relive his destination wedding in Barbados, which was launched by a brutally honest rant about weddings, bridal showers, and the social pressure to spend thousands to prove you're "supportive." From gift fatigue to travel weddings and the misery of being too high up in the wedding party, Andy and Nick argue that the only winning move is being the seventh-best friend.

HR leaders are feeling the squeeze.  With limited resources and growing pressure to improve engagement, performance, and retention, many are tasked with building manager support systems from scratch, often without the time or tools to do it effectively. In this episode, Morgan Webb, Senior Strategic Advisor at 15Five, and Yen Tan, Evangelist, Expansion & Manager Products at 15Five, share how HR can take a more focused and sustainable approach to manager enablement. They discuss why blanket training programs rarely work, how to use data to identify where support is needed most, and why piloting and iterating can drive better results than aiming for perfection. This conversation guides HR teams ready to stop doing it all and start doing what works.

Thanks to our Partners, NAPA Auto Care and NAPA TRACS Watch Full Video Episode Chris Lawson of TechnicianFind tackles a critical disconnect in the automotive repair industry: shop owners say they want a General Manager to run their business, but are only willing to hire a “babysitter.” The conversation explores what it truly takes to build real management—centered on financial transparency, clearly defined roles, and intentional recruitment. The Transparency Trap At the heart of the issue is a tension between a shop owner's desire to step away from daily operations and their fear of sharing financial information. Many owners want a manager who will “own the results,” yet refuse to share the “scoreboard” — gross profit, payroll, and compensation data — out of fear the employee will leave to open a competing shop. Lawson challenges this assumption. In reality, when employees see the true costs, risks, and pressures of ownership, many realize they prefer the stability of employment rather than pursuing ownership themselves. Defining the Roles The Owner:Responsible for vision, long-term direction, financial risk, and high-level strategic decisions.The Manager:Owns daily execution, workflow, SOPs, and tactical accountability.The Requirement:To move from “babysitter” to true manager, the individual must be trained to read and understand P&L statements so their daily decisions align with the company's financial reality. Attracting Talent vs. Hunting Unicorns Rather than passively hoping to “find” a superstar manager, Lawson argues shops must actively attract them through preparation and culture. Preparation:It starts with a detailed job description outlining specific responsibilities, outcomes, and authority.Always Be Recruiting:Don't wait until it's “raining” to fix the roof. Build a bench and maintain passive recruiting year-round.Social Media as a Window:Prospective hires—and often their spouses—observe a shop's culture long before applying. Posts that highlight team wins, birthdays, training, and certifications signal a healthy, supportive environment. Actionable Advice Lawson closes with a practical checklist for owners ready to upgrade from a babysitter to a true manager: Create a detailed job descriptionAddress personal insecurities around...

Stop Promoting Your Best Employees Without Training Them to Lead Growing companies hit a predictable wall when their star employees get promoted to management positions without proper training. Ryan Castle, co-founder of Level 10 Leaders, joined The Right-Hand Roadmap to tackle this common entrepreneurial business challenge head-on. After working with over 250 organizations, Castle has identified the gap that stops companies from scaling: while visionary founders and Integrators may excel at leadership, they often struggle to develop the next layer of managers. Most businesses take their best doers, slap a manager title on them, and hope for the best, creating bottlenecks and overwhelmed Seconds-in-Command who end up co-managing departments instead of leading strategically.  You'll hear all about: 02:07 - What Level Ten Leaders does and how they help entrepreneurial companies scale leadership across the organization 03:18 - The difference between leadership (doing the right things) and management (doing things right), and why entrepreneurial founders often excel at one but not both 06:18 - The biggest mistake companies make: promoting top performers without teaching them how to lead, creating a capability gap between executives and managers 10:19 - The Peter Principle problem and why being great at a job doesn't automatically mean someone will be a great manager 13:54 - Navigating the transition from peer to manager while maintaining relationships 16:06 - Why second-in-commands and managers have the toughest jobs in organizations 19:00 - The player-coach dilemma: balancing individual contributor work with management responsibilities 20:42 - Transformation story: how Level Ten's program changed a "blame guy" into a valued team member 22:26 - Advice for second-in-commands: stop being a bottleneck and delegate to create leverage 26:16 - How to connect with Level Ten Leaders and get a free copy of "The Active Manager" book   Rate, review & follow on Apple Podcasts Click Here to Listen!

Founded in 1886, Westinghouse Electric grew to be one of America's industrial giants. Second only to General Electric. In August 1998, the company sold off its industrial and power generation businesses and became a media company. How did such a titan so badly stumble and lose its way? We like the simple answers. Managers were greedy. They took their eyes off the ball. Dive into the history, and things get a bit murkier. In today's video, we discuss how Westinghouse Electric lost its way.

Great management isn't a "soft skill" — it's a measurable performance lever. Ashley Herd, founder and CEO of Manager Method and author of The Manager Method: Practical Strategies to Lead with Purpose and Confidence, joins host Mike Wallberg, CFA, to unpack why communication sits at the heart of effective leadership and how small managerial choices ripple through engagement, retention, and profitability. Drawing on her experience as a lawyer, in-house leader, and advisor who has trained more than 250,000 managers, Herd explains why promoting top performers into management roles so often backfires, how leaders can avoid micromanagement without disappearing, and why her "pause, consider, act" framework helps managers handle everything from delegation to performance conversations. The discussion also explores what investors and analysts can learn about management quality by listening closely to leadership behavior — not just the numbers — and why culture and innovation are inseparable from long-term returns. Listen to the full episode of Enterprising Investor to hear practical insights on building better managers, stronger teams, and more resilient businesses.

Send us a text On this weeks episode of Grease the Wheels, Uncle Jimmy loosely defines the roles of the management staff when it comes to doing Video MultiPoint Inspections. The main part of the management role in video MPI adoption is to properly incentivize their technicians on doing them, setting them up for success, and getting the right training into the shop to make it effective - insert shameless plug here- However, often times the management of a shop is a direct hindrance to getting quality video MPI's out to their customers. By adding their own critiques while failing to incentivize techs for doing them well, they are setting the entire digital transformation of their fixed ops departments up for failure, every single time! There are tons of ways that shop management can properly incentives this, but they often miss the easy ones! There is a silver lining here, also we come up with the true end-goal terminology for video MPI - Peace of Mind Inspections!   Also Uncle Jimmy gives a shoutout to Kalil's Mom! This Episode of Grease the Wheels is brought to you in partnership with Surfwrench Digital!

La transformation du travail liée à l'intelligence artificielle pose des questions très concrètes aux entreprises : quelles compétences anticiper, comment accompagner les managers, et comment maintenir la confiance des collaborateurs dans un contexte d'accélération permanente, au cœur de la transformation du management.Maryjo Charbonnier est Chief Human Resource Officer de Kyndryl, entreprise mondiale de services technologiques issue d'un spin-off d'IBM, présente dans plus de 60 pays. Elle est également membre du board du SHRM, le plus grand regroupement mondial de professionnels des ressources humaines. À ce titre, elle intervient au plus haut niveau des réflexions internationales sur le leadership, le management et l'avenir du travail.Dans cet épisode de L'Entreprise de demain, Maryjo partage la manière dont elle pilote, à grande échelle, la transformation du management dans une organisation directement impactée par l'IA. Elle décrit les choix structurants opérés chez Kyndryl pour anticiper l'évolution des métiers, transformer les pratiques managériales et organiser le développement des compétences dans la durée.L'épisode apporte des repères concrets sur la façon dont Kyndryl articule intelligence artificielle, management et engagement des collaborateurs, en inscrivant la transformation du management dans des dispositifs déjà en place et utilisés à grande échelle. Maryjo détaille un cadre clair mobilisé par les équipes RH et les managers pour anticiper les impacts de l'IA sur les tâches et les emplois, disposer d'un inventaire précis des compétences, organiser le re-skilling et faciliter le re-déploiement des collaborateurs avant que les ruptures n'interviennent.La discussion met en lumière le rôle central du management dans cette transformation. Les managers sont explicitement responsabilisés sur quatre axes communs à l'ensemble de l'organisation : fixer un cap ambitieux, développer les compétences et les talents, construire des équipes engagées et inclusives, et incarner des pratiques managériales cohérentes.

Guest: Samantha Phillips Guest Bio:  Samantha Phillips is the Sales Enablement Manager at SHI International, leading strategic initiatives across Commercial and Public Sector divisions. With over five years of enablement experience in high-volume IT sales, she builds scalable onboarding programs, develops impactful training, and drives process improvements that boost sales performance. Samantha partners with sales and technical leadership to coach enablement teams, ensuring sellers are equipped for success. Her programs have achieved high satisfaction scores and retention rates, reflecting her commitment to results and culture. Samantha is passionate about creating engaging learning experiences and fostering professional growth. She is recognized for her collaborative approach, problem-solving skills, and dedication to elevating sales teams. Connect with her on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/phillips-samantha   Key Points: Background & Career Path Samantha Phillips started her career in sales at SHI, not enablement. She transitioned into sales enablement after networking with the enablement team and being encouraged to apply. Her enablement experience includes Sales enablement trainer (onboarding & workshops), Program manager, and Sales enablement manager (for the past 3 years). She values continuous learning and has worked across nearly all aspects of sales enablement.   Why Sales? Samantha entered sales after moving to Austin and being drawn to the energy and culture of sales, the competitive environment, the ability to build her own book of business, the people and fast-paced atmosphere were the biggest drivers.   What Sales Enablement Is (and Is Not) Sales enablement has evolved beyond traditional L&D (Learning & Development). It is no longer just training or professional development. Modern sales enablement focuses on driving the sales process, helping sellers close deals faster, improving sales productivity and developing the right mindsets and behaviors. L&D serves the whole organization; sales enablement is specific to the sales org.   What Sellers Need to Be Equipped for Success The most critical focus is a customer-centric approach. Relationship-building is more important than just "getting the meeting." Sellers should aim to become a trusted resource, not just a vendor, build long-term customer relationships and short-term wins are easy; long-term relationships drive sustainable success.   Cold Calling & Prospecting Philosophy Samantha agrees that meetings matter—but they should be pursued with strategy and value, not just metrics. Effective prospecting requires researching what matters to the customer, understanding why it matters, and clearly articulating value. Cold calling without value is just "throwing things at the wall."   Role of Sales Enablement Tools Tools include CRM, internal systems, data resources, and content. Sellers must first be exposed to tools early (despite information overload). Enablement focuses on high-level understanding of frameworks and strategies and application, especially through role play. Role playing helps sellers sound natural and authentic, avoid reading scripts and build conversational confidence. AI is increasingly used to support practice and application. Skill retention requires ongoing practice—like muscle memory or sports.   Research & Preparation Sellers should deeply research their customer and the customer's customers. Understanding the full ecosystem helps sellers communicate broader value. This approach resembles a modern, automated version of a sales readiness checklist.   Driving Tool Adoption (Especially CRM) Tool adoption fails when middle managers aren't bought in. Success requires buy-in at all levels: Executives, Sales enablement, Middle managers and Sellers. Managers must reinforce tools during one-on-ones and team meetings. Enablement should test tools with pilot groups, gather feedback and adjust based on real usage. Sometimes tools don't fail—they're just being used differently than expected. "Fail forward" and pivot based on how sellers actually work.   CRM Challenges & the Future CRM resistance is common across sales organizations. Current problems include complexity, too many fields/tabs and poor usability. Samantha believes CRM is entering a new phase, driven by AI with more automation, less manual input and more "behind-the-scenes" functionality. The future of CRM should reduce friction for sellers.   What Samantha Loves About Sales Enablement Creativity in approaches and problem-solving Different strengths across sellers, managers, and trainers Freedom to experiment, test, and learn A "fail forward" mindset   What Drives Her Crazy People who don't try or limit themselves Sellers and leaders who stay stuck in their comfort zones Seeing people underestimate their potential Belief that even 1% improvement per day can be transformational   Final Takeaway Growth—in sales and enablement—comes from stepping outside your comfort zone, practicing consistently and being open to feedback and change. Sales enablement succeeds when it blends strategy, application, mindset, and leadership buy-in.   Guest Links: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/phillips-samantha/     About Salesology®: Conversations with Sales Leaders Download your free gift, The Salesology® Vault.

Welcome BACK to the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast; we have completed our Holiday Hiatus and are ready to dominate 2026! In this episode, your hosts LA Williams and Sean V. Bradley pull back the curtain on what's brewing for 2026, and why the next wave of automotive success won't be won by the loudest dealerships, but by the most prepared ones…! "Don't operate out of fear. Don't NOT do something… because you're fearful of what MIGHT or might NOT happen." — Sean V. Bradley They're not just talking about the future of automotive; they're hinting at a few surprises Dealer Synergy is bringing to the table in February at NADA that could change how sales teams train, perform, and sell cars forever! "NADA is our Super Bowl... people literally come from all over the world to learn what we are doing in automotive." — Sean V. Bradley This conversation touches on technology, momentum, and what happens when a dealership stops hoping for better results and starts building a system to produce them on command. If you've been feeling like the industry is shifting faster than most stores can keep up… you'll want to hear what Sean and LA are seeing behind the scenes! Tune in now to get ahead of the game… see you there!   Key Takeaways: ✅ The rollout of Dealer Synergy's new AI-Driven Role-Playing Technology aims to revolutionize training for automotive sales professionals by allowing them to practice in a controlled environment. ✅ Dealer Synergy's outsourced BDC has proven highly successful, extensively increasing sales and offering dealers significant returns on investment. ✅ The importance of attending industry events like NADA to enhance knowledge, build networks, and keep abreast of automotive technologies and trends. ✅ Personalized coaching is emphasized through Bradley on Demand, a platform providing extensive training materials and interactive workshops from industry experts. ✅ Networking and continual learning are key to personal and professional growth in the automotive industry, as habitually exemplified by Dealer Synergy.   About Sean V. Bradley Sean V. Bradley is the President of Dealer Synergy and a leading automotive sales trainer, speaker, and consultant specializing in dealership performance, Internet sales, BDC strategy, and leadership development. As the host of the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast, Sean helps dealerships increase sales, improve processes, and build high-performing teams through proven training systems, modern technology, and accountability-based coaching. About LA Williams LA Williams is the Vice President of Dealer Synergy, an automotive sales training and dealership performance expert, and co-host of the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast. Known for his high-energy coaching and accountability-driven approach, LA supports dealerships nationwide by strengthening BDC operations, sales team execution, leadership habits, and customer experience through practical training strategies and measurable performance systems.     Harnessing the Power of AI and Networking to Revolutionize Automotive Sales Key Takeaways Strategic Development through AI: The transition to AI-based training empowers sales teams by significantly enhancing their sales tactics through artificial intelligence-driven insights. Industry Networking at NADA: Participating in events like NADA equips automotive professionals with unparalleled opportunities for networking, skill enhancement, and understanding cutting-edge industry innovations. Outsource Solutions Boosting Sales: Implementing outsourced BDCs and strategic partnerships, such as with Call Source, offers dealerships a substantial boost in sales performance and client engagement. The automotive sales landscape is rapidly evolving, and staying ahead requires not just strategic foresight but also an embrace of innovative technologies and networking opportunities. A recent conversation between automotive experts LA Williams and Sean V. Bradley brought these strategies into focus. Delving into themes such as the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) for role-playing, the importance of industry networking at NADA conventions, and leveraging outsourced communication solutions, they underscore critical elements poised to revolutionize sales methodologies. Revolutionizing Sales Through AI Training AI's integration into sales strategies is not just a future trend; it is a current necessity. LA Williams and Sean V. Bradley have designed a groundbreaking artificial intelligence role-playing software, tailored specifically for the automotive industry. This software propels training into the future by offering a variety of simulated interactions sales teams can engage with. "There is no other training company that's doing this," remarked Bradley, highlighting the uniqueness of this approach. By utilizing AI, dealerships ensure that their employees are constantly honing their skills. Bradley emphasizes, "Your people don't have to practice with real customers ever again. They don't have to burn through UPS," pointing out the strategic advantage of risk-free practice. The software meticulously tracks performance metrics—such as words per minute, filler words usage, and talk-listen ratios—ensuring that each interaction is optimized. This level of detail not only prepares the sales force but also reduces errors and enhances customer experience, leading to increased sales performance. The Strategic Importance of NADA Networking The NADA Convention serves as a pivotal gathering for the automotive industry, functioning akin to a "Super Bowl" for car sales professionals. It brings together a multitude of stakeholders, offering robust insights into new practices, services, and technologies that define the industry's future. "Nada is where Success," states LA Williams, encouraging everyone from salespeople to executives to seize the opportunities presented at this convention. Sean Bradley recounts his own transformative experiences at NADA, noting, "The reason why I think I was so successful back then is because I was training," during events like these where knowledge exchange is paramount. As Bradley notes, more significant connections and educational opportunities can lead to profound career development and institutional growth. For emerging and seasoned professionals alike, the exchange of ideas, experiences, and contacts at NADA can lead to new partnerships and strategies that drive dealerships forward. Outsourced Solutions Elevating Dealership Performance Outsourcing remains a strategic staple for dealerships looking to enhance efficiency and focus on core competencies. Dealer Synergy's collaboration with Call Source represents a quintessential example of leveraging outsourcing for optimal performance. This partnership sees Dealer Synergy handle BDC operations while Call Source focuses on the service side—merging strengths to unify dealership operations seamlessly. "Our outsourced BDC is going cray cray," enthuses Bradley, attributing a significant boost in dealership outcomes to this operational strategy. He shares successful instances where dealerships experienced a substantial return on investment (ROI) and increased sales, citing a GMC dealership in Ohio responsible for 20 additional vehicle sales thanks to their BDC efforts. This synergy, Bradley shares, is beneficial as it reduces operational burdens on dealerships, allowing them to focus squarely on enhancing the customer experience. As the conversation highlights, a focus on integrating AI-driven training and exploring robust industry networks and outsourcing solutions allows dealerships to maintain a competitive edge. The seamless transition from in-person networking at industry events like NADA to strategic technological adoption showcases a forward-thinking mindset essential in today's market. With the unveiling of AI role-playing tools, robust BDC solutions, and vibrant networking opportunities, the automotive industry is on the cusp of transformative advances. The emphasis on strategic preparedness, continuous enhancement of sales methodologies, and leveraging comprehensive networking opportunities defines industry leadership and charts a course for sustained success.       Resources + Our Proud Sponsors: ➼ The Millionaire Car Salesman Facebook Group: Join the #1 Automotive Sales Mastermind Facebook Group with over 29,000 automotive professionals worldwide.

Hello again friends. Thanks for listening to Winfluence, the Influence Marketing Podcast. It's been a minute! For those keeping track, the last time I posted an episode of Winfluence was two years ago. I hope you haven't missed me, but I also hope you're excited to hear something new from my thoughts on influence marketing. And, as a measure of transparency, know that the only reason I stopped regular episodes of the show is … well … it worked. I've been blessed with a full roster of client work in that time and just didn't have the bandwidth to keep up the pace. But that means I have two more years of experience dealing with the day to day of influence marketing strategy, campaign management, execution and measurement. I've also been teaching students an influence strategy course at the University of Louisville, so it's not like I'm coming back to the podcast without new ideas or fresh perspective, so I hope you'll appreciate that. And, to be realistic, I can't promise I'm going to churn out a weekly episode from now on and be right back in the saddle. Let's just say when I've got to something to share with you, I will. So your subscription is still worth holding onto. And I won't be throwing countless episodes at you just to stay top of mind.  For those of you who enjoy a good Jason Falls rant now and then, you'll be delighted to hear that those moments are really the ones when I have something to say and share. So expect less interviews and more grumpy old man wishing the world would be better. When a new episode of Winfluence pops into your feed … It'll be fun, for sure. What burr in my saddle has me champing at the bit to return to the podcast?  Talent managers are killing the creator economy.  I explain how and why on this episode of Winfluence.  Learn more about your ad choices.
