Ep 85: A Tale of Two Managers

It was the best of management; it was the worst of management. A tale of two managers, where one inspires their team to thrive, and the other leaves their team in disarray. In leadership, just like in Dickens’ classic A Tale of Two Cities, we see contrasts—hope and despair, light and darkness, order and chaos. Today, we’re diving into what separates the 93rd percentile manager from the 7th percentile, unpacking the lessons that make or break a team’s success. Whether or not you’ve read the book, this story will hit home—because the stakes in leadership are as real as they were in revolutionary Paris or stable London.
