Summary: A pleasure to be joined by Greg Giesen on Intrepid Radio. Greg is the author of Mondays At 3: A Story For Managers Learning To Lead, a novel about management and leadership. Key takeaways and highlights from the show: 1. Explains why he wrote a "management" novel - and why that approach is important to your learning. 2. Most new managers (and old ones too) struggle because they do not have the best people skills. 3. And...most organizations aren't set up appropriately to account for and mentor new and inexperienced managers. 4. We discuss the soft side of managing and the evil of organizational gaps. 5. The importance of, and how, and organization can encourage self-learning and professional development. 6. And how to stay motivated long-term. Greg mentions group dynamics, life coaching and appropriately-sized mastermind groups. You can learn more about Greg Giesen here, and purchase the book here (affiliate link):
