The Manager's Mic With Paul Leon

Management Episodes

The Manager’s Mic distills today’s best leadership and people-management tactics into crisp, ready-to-use episodes. Hear from veteran executives, frontline supervisors, and workplace researchers so you can lead teams that deliver—without burning out.

Tune in to learn how to:
Coach for performance: run 1-on-1s and quarterly reviews that skyrocket engagement
Drive accountability: set OKRs, delegate effectively, and eliminate “shadow work”
Give feedback that sticks: use SBI/SBIR and feed-forward models to spark growth, not defensiveness
Build psychological safety: foster open dialogue so innovation and dissent thrive side-by-side
Navigate remote & hybrid teams: keep culture, clarity, and connection strong from anywhere
Master time & priority management: protect focus for you and your people in meeting-heavy weeks
Recruit and retain A-players: craft hiring loops and onboarding plans that reduce churn

Press play, apply one tactic before your next stand-up, and watch your team’s performance—and your own leadership brand—rise.
