The Modern Manager
A practical podcast offering structured frameworks and actionable advice for new and experienced managers to solve common workplace challenges.
A mix of solo lessons and expert interviews designed to give managers concrete tools for their toughest problems. Solo episodes present a common management frustration—like circular arguments or heated meetings—and then deliver a numbered, step-by-step framework for diagnosing and solving it. Guest episodes feature fellow consultants and authors who bring their own specialized frameworks to the table.
“Unlike many leadership podcasts that focus on high-level strategy or inspirational stories, The Modern Manager provides specific, repeatable frameworks and even the exact language to use in difficult situations. Its tight focus on diagnosing and solving discrete management problems (Process vs. Personality conflict, for example) makes it a tactical field guide.”
