In this episode, Kate and Carrie dive into the fascinating idea of "monkey management", inspired by a classic 1974 Harvard Business Review article. They share how this concept has shaped their work with childcare directors and even their parenting styles.

 The key takeaway? Don’t take on others' burdens—delegate! They also discuss their upcoming book, "Don't Chase the Monkey," which promises to be a game-changer for managing responsibilities.  This episode is packed with practical tips and a friendly vibe, perfect for anyone juggling multiple roles!
