In episode 31, John Weigelt explains why the largest goal of management should be to get the best out of people... and reminds us that gentle nudges and words of feedback have more power than we think in helping our teammates do their best work.
We also explore strategies that John uses to convince large institutions to adopt new ways of operating and doing business, which is no easy job!
