“If you’re curious to hear how offices were managed in the 1980s or 1990s, this show is for you.
I began managing people over a decade ago and, naturally, I sought out resources to help me be successful. I listened to Manager Tools and Career Tools religiously. Now, given social changes and upheaval in the traditionally hierarchical structures of corporate America, Manager Tools just feels badly out of touch. In one episode, for example, one of the hosts tells a story of admonishing a conference attendee for not shaking hands a certain way (read: black dude dapping it up gets yelled at for not doing a whiter handshake).
A lot of what’s presented here is steeped in fundamentally dated principles of old school office culture. I would caution against any of today’s young managers listening or subscribing to any of the content.”
