“I first heard of Tom through “Coaching for Leaders”, I’m in the lower levels of Management looking to move up, and becoming a better leader is a big part of that. Many leadership podcasts deal in vagueness and executive level information. While Tom’s advice is definitely applicable to higher echelons it’s the practical application of his advice to any level.
We all manage expectations. We all oversee productivity. It’s that personal connection and self reflection that separates leaders and managers. Also as an aside, as someone who listens to many many podcasts, Toms voice is just delightful. Update: still the best leadership coaching podcast.
I’ve decided to start listening from the beginning and there’s like 15 years of episodes wow Update: I’d like to update my review to 1/5 based on the fact that if Tom hadn’t taught me Sorting and labeling, I wouldn’t have been angry at our guest speaker for talking for an hour with literally no structure. I probably wouldn’t have noticed how bad it was without knowing this information. So Thanks Tom :)
Update: Shoutout to Todd
Update Update: Tom’s podcast has a secondary effect, listening to it not every episode might be applicable to everyone but even if they aren’t listening to them changes your mindset on how to be a leader. I recently got passed over for promotion for a more seasoned leader, but because of my mindset and willingness to accept feedback I learned from Tom I was able to create with my manager a development plan that included a lateral move exposing me to new skills and experience. No doubt me from a decade ago would have sulked and whined. Tom talks a lot about leadership but when you listen really listen it boils down to one thing the only way to lead others is to manage yourself.”
