Things Managers Don’t Say Often Enough

Let Me Speak To A Manager

We started with a podcast about “dumb things we’ve said as managers,” but quickly realized the content would fill an entire season. So we went with an equally important topic about the things we weren’t confident or perceptually aware enough to say as young managers.

  • Why new managers try to hide problems from their boss
  • The stigma behind saying “I don’t know” as a manager
  • The difference between a receptive and a proactive manager
  • Why all new managers struggle with delegating
  • How a manager should think about their time in terms of paygrade
  • Don’t fixate on numbers, concentrate on resistance
  • People are able to receive feedback on vastly different schedules
  • Why it is OK to tell someone you are disappointed
  • The difference between “I’m frustrated” and “I’m disappointed”
  • How to trust your gut when you sense something is off with an employee
  • The most underused management tool
  • Can you overdo appreciation?
