Business consultant Steve Gordon turns the tables and interviews me about a topic that’s near and dear to my heart: being an effective boss. Specifically how to be a leader that engages employees and inspires them to do their best work.

This is especially important in small and medium-sized business where a business owner is in direct contact with employees all the time. 

The process starts with figuring out your core values… and then finding people that share those values. The idea is to be the type of manager that makes people really want to be there. And it’s not a simple matter of providing financial incentives or perks like free beer on Fridays.

We discuss that in detail, as well as…

• The biggest myths about engaging employees
• An alternative to the typical organizational chart
• Why you need to measure progress (and how to do it right)
• How to practice the art of self-management 
• And more
