Wish I would have had this advice years ago
Now retired, I had the pleasure and challenge of managing hundreds of people over my career in both education and high tech. During that time I have had great employees and bosses as well as some who were not so great. Much of what I learned was by the seat of my pants and by reading about management theory and practice. What I like about Ask a Manager is how practical and actionable the advice is. The situations presented about workplace issues are spot-on and familiar to almost anyone who has been in a job - be it a large coporation, mom-and-pop shop, non-profits, or government. We all face similar challenges. Everyone has a boss, so advice about "managing up" is always helpful. We all have co-workers, and you may have subordinates. This podcast is for everyone who works with others and the inevitable hard conversations that may need to happen and how to conduct them. Highly recommended.Read full review »

Alison has a great conversational tone that makes it easy to get into the podcast, and the length is perfect. I was so bummed to hear in a recent episode that she was discontinuing the series. If you're a reader of the Ask a Manager blog, you're probably not going to discover anything...Read full review »
