“The bottom line is: in the workplace, I am treating you no differently than anybody else. I’m going to spend the same amount of time with you at lunch. At work, we’re not going to talk about our social time outside of work.”  In this episode, Ethan and Mike Nash discuss the complex dynamics of friendship in the workplace. What is the best approach to being a good friend and a great manager?  The duo interrogates the commonly held belief that friendships with employees are inherently at odds with healthy management and suggests strategies for setting boundaries with friends that you also manage.  Text the word “LEADING” to 66866 to be added to Nash Consulting’s monthly newsletter. Just practical management skills and tips. And just once a month. Pinky swear.
