A questioned was posed as to how someone could become a better manager-leader, so we addressed it in today's episode. We share what you should do for yourself, your team, and your organization. We provide various tools, resources, and tips that you can use. We outline how to revamp your thinking, approach, practice, and habits (especially the annoying ones).

We share the ways to engage with other team members, the responsibility and accountability you have assumed by taking on a manager-leader role, the Do's and Don'ts of leading and managing, and the intentional steps that you must take to build the type of relationships within your organization that catapults you from average to exceptional leader. It doesn't matter if you're just starting out as a manager-leader or if you have been whirling around in this rodeo for decades, everyone should strive to be a better manager-leader. Anyone who thinks that they have mastered it, are the best, and don't need to improve, also don't realize they're the emperor with no clothes.

As with every episode, we share some relevant quotes to layer and reinforce the message, and we wrap up our conversation shouting out some pretty cool businesses and professionals.
