Offices come in a variety of shapes and guises, from a room with desks and whiteboards to the front seat of a squad car. In this solo episode, Jim sounds off on his favorite topic: Management is not a dirty word, to be shunned in favor of "leadership". Rather, management is part of leadership. It's the art & science of allocating and coordinating resources to meet a goal.

Jim wants to share with you several of the lessons on management he's learned the hard way, such as when it's time to lead less. If you've managed your team well, you can take some time you'd otherwise have to spend motivating them and instead spend it removing obstacles preventing your highly-motivated people from solving problems efficiently. After all, getting the right people in the right places with the right equipment and a realistic timeline is essential to leadership.
