"Managing is a higher calling. It's not just air traffic controlling work, or being a chess master and making sure all the people are doing the right things. Management is - at its core - about equipping and empowering others." 

In this episode, Mike Nash dives into a solo conversation on what prevents managers from thriving in their roles. Too often, he explains, managers assume the role of air traffic controlling their people or treating employees as chess pieces in a game that can be won. 

Mike explains that a manager can only succeed in their goal of helping their people learn, grow and thrive by looking inward and examining their life, habits and history. He introduces the RAIN framework (Recognize, Accept, Investigate, Nurture) as a way to guide managers in understanding and overcoming the obstacles that hinder their effectiveness. 

Listen as Mike shares actionable strategies for navigating the complexities of management and cultivating a culture of trust, collaboration, and growth.
