Jack Skeels never wanted to be a manager, but when his career inevitably led to a management role, he decided that he had to find a better way than simply following the established norms of command and control.

That eventually led to the establishment of Agencyagile a California, USA based consultancy that focuses on supporting agencies to manage people better and be more productive and profitable.

In Unmanaged, Jack advocates that it only by managing less that organisations of all kinds can create empowered and happy organisations, which in return will result in more profitable organisations.

In this episode of The Independent Minds, you will Jack Skeels explain to host Michael Millward why managers need to manage less and why that will require an element of magic.

In this episode of The Independent Minds, Alex explains to Michael Millward how big a problem stock dilution is for day traders, how he created Dilutional.com, and his aims to grow his business.

A sales director once told me that the fastest way to get something done is to motivate the laziest person you know to do it. Why is that I asked? Because explained the sales director, they will want to do it quickly so that they can get back to doing what they really want to do, and they will get it right first time so that they don’t have to do it again.

There is some logic in that!

It is the sort of logic that inspired Al Tepper, the marketing consultant to create the Lazy Marketing Method.

In this episode of The Independent Minds, Al explains to Michael Millward the logic of the Lazy Marketing Method and the results that can be achieved.
