The Managerial Leadership Lessons We All Need Jun 08, 2021

Show notes

Truly successful individuals and leaders recognize that they cannot always have the answer themselves and that it is unrealistic for any one person to be the expert on everything. Truly great leaders, though, understand that they may not have to be the answer themselves. They merely need to be the catalyst for others to generate the answers, as well as to create a safe culture and environment for such energies to come forth. This quote from Dr Jeffrey Magee, author of The Managerial Leadership Bible: Learning the Strategic, Organizational, and Tactical Skills Everyone Needs Today, gives an insight into this episode. In this episode, we explore key leadership issues that can make or break a company from ensuring the company's mission statement cascades through the organization to how to foster change. Dr Magee gives us significant bits of advice about managing a company, an organization, and even managing ourselves.
