On today’s episode we have Jim Edwards, former editor-in-chief of Insider’s news division, and author of Say Thank You For Everything: The Secrets of Being a Great Manager, Strategies and Tactics That Get Results. I personally had a blast talking to Jim, I know you’ll enjoy listening to him. Jim draws from a combination of his own experiences with leadership, successes and failures, leadership styles of others he witnessed throughout his career in journalism, and research on the most current thinking about group dynamics. Most interesting I think was our digression into creative thinking, how it works, how you set yourself and others up for productive sessions, why you should dedicate time to doing it, just like you might dedicate time to working out, and why brainstorming sessions aren’t as productive as sending people off alone. Enjoy leadership lessons from Dominos and Mad Men, the importance of owning your mistakes, and communicating clearly, repeatedly, and honestly. The book contains a lot of content we didn’t get in to, such as hiring, firing, and even advice for young people just starting out in their careers. Follow Jim on Linkedin and Twitter.
