What makes managers truly effective? In this episode, I talk with Colleen Grogan about all things management. She shares some great things her manager does to make her more effective and reduce meeting fatigue. We talk about managing a remote team and a variety of personalities. We get into using AI at work and wrap it up with how to choose new leaders in your organization and how to decide if you really want to become a people manager yourself (ask these questions to people you are considering promoting to managers!!).

Resilience is the ability to bounce back when stressful situations come around. Teams can develop resilience on their own, even if the members aren't necessarily resilient individually. Natalie shares why she developed the head, heart and briefcase podcast. To develop team resilience, leaders can focus on developing team familiarity and transformational leadership. Additionally, self efficacy and optimism are precursors to individual resilience. Finally, the Outstanding Company offers a range of services specifically focused on team resilience.
