In this edition of Weekend Conversations (reposted from 2023) host Robert Glazer and producer Mick Sloan have a wide-ranging conversation on how parenting approaches have continued to evolve in the past decade, as parents stay heavily involved in their kids lives well into their college lives--and beyond. Robert shares a parallel between this parenting approach and the widely critiqued leadership approach of micromanagement, and how to help the people you lead grow by letting them fail from time to time.
