How do you manage your team? There are two different approaches to managing employees: the carrot and the stick. One method is a tough, authoritarian style where you constantly berate your employees, making their lives miserable, while the other is a more nurturing, goal-oriented style in which the employees feel appreciated and motivated. Which management style do you think will bring out the best in your team? 

Steve has experienced both management styles and is here to share his insights on which method is more effective for building a successful, high-performing team.

In this episode, Steve discusses:

• Steve’s experience with different management styles

• How empowering employees by letting them choose their own tasks and set daily goals can boost performance
• The importance of treating employees with kindness and respect
