🎙 This Week’s Guest: Vince Sanderson, Management & Leadership Expert


In today’s episode, we sit down with Vince Sanderson, a management, leadership, and team consultant with over a quarter of a million followers on social media. Vince has built a career helping businesses develop effective leadership skills and build exceptional teams.


Vince's journey began in teaching before transitioning into management consulting, giving him a unique blend of practical experience and real-world insights. His approach is refreshingly honest and focuses on creating environments where teams can thrive.


🧠 What We Covered:


First 30 Days as a Manager:

  • Meet your team and key stakeholders, including IT, HR, and lateral managers.
  • Build relationships that extend beyond your vertical team to avoid siloed working.
  • 30 to 60 Days:

    • Shift from learning to refining processes.
    • Identify where there are gaps between what the business says is important and where time is actually spent.
    • 60 to 90 Days:

      • Assess whether you have the right people in the right roles.
      • The impact of the "Bad Apple" experiment: how one person can decrease team productivity by 30-40%.
      • Key Takeaway:

        • Managers should create an environment where others can excel, focusing on clarity of purpose and emotional intelligence.
        • Vince’s mantra: "Leadership isn't built in a day; it's built daily."
