The Manager Track

Many leaders believe that it's important for them to get agreement from others before making a decision. Yet this consensus-focused approach often results in delayed projects, diluted ideas, and teams that only appear aligned on the surface.

In this episode, Ramona Shaw examines how the pursuit of consensus, while well-intentioned, can actually hinder team performance and decision-making. She shares practical insights from her work with startups and established organizations where consensus-seeking had unexpected consequences and what to do instead.

Ramona explores:

- The natural appeal of consensus and why it feels right

- What really happens in meetings when everyone seems to agree

- The connection between consensus and conflict avoidance

- A clear framework for when to seek agreement - and when not to

If you believe that a group of people with diverse perspectives makes for a better team, then aiming for actual consensus is a misdirected effort.

If this resonates with you, then check out our latest episode of The Manager Track podcast HERE.

Or watch it on YouTube HERE.

Reflective Questions:

- When has seeking agreement slowed down an important project?

- What decisions could have been made faster without full consensus?

- How often do team discussions end in safe but uninspiring compromises?

- Does quick agreement in meetings reflect true alignment or something else?

Leadership promotions don’t reward competence - they demand reinvention.

In this Manager Track episode, Ramona Shaw reveals why about two-thirds of technically skilled directors plateau before reaching VP level… and how to beat the odds.

She discusses:

- The “Better Director” Fallacy

- The DJ’s Secret Power

- From Expert to Influencer

- Silent Promotion Killers

Plus, by the end of the episode, you'll know:

- Why the increasing popularity of lean management structures creates both risks and opportunities for mid-level leaders

- How to demonstrate "VP-readiness" without saying yes to more and more work

- How crisis leadership can become your ultimate influence amplifier

Getting that VP title is about already thinking, acting, and moving like a VP before anyone hands you the business card. So, this episode is perfect for directors who feel stuck or senior managers eyeing that next big promotion.

For all our coffee lovers, imagine your organization’s leadership culture as a finely brewed cup of coffee. When done right, it tastes rich, distinct, and pure. But when you mix in different types of beans or even a splash of almond milk and half and half, that delicious cup starts to quickly turn into an off-putting drink.

Similarly, as your team grows and new leaders join your organization, each bringing their own “flavor,” the leadership culture can become diluted and fragmented—less bold, less recognizable, and less impactful.

In this episode, we explore what happens when leadership culture loses its essence, why it happens, and how to protect what makes your organization thrive.

Ramona breaks down:

- Why newly hired leaders often stick to their proven playbooks instead of assessing the new company's approach

- How remote work makes it harder for leaders to pick up on the unwritten rules and norms

- What happens when different managers run their teams in completely opposite ways

- Specific solutions that actually work, with real examples from companies who got it right

This episode is perfect for anyone bringing in new leaders, joining a new company as a lateral hire, or trying to keep their leadership team aligned through growth.

Have you ever been in a meeting where something felt off, but you couldn't quite put your finger on it, and everyone else seemed to ignore it too? Or watched a leader completely miss the signs of their team's growing anxiety?

In this episode of The Manager Track podcast, Ramona Shaw dives into the often-discussed but rarely explained skill of "reading the room" - breaking down what it really means and how to get better at it.

Through real examples, from Google's layoff announcement to BP's oil spill crisis response, Ramona illustrates how even seasoned leaders can miss crucial social cues and context, leading to damaged relationships and eroded trust. She shares a practical framework for becoming more aware of what's happening beneath the surface in any social setting, whether you're leading a team meeting or navigating a difficult conversation.

Key topics include:

- Understanding the hidden layers in conversations - authority, bias, context, culture, and mood

- Picking up on changes in body language and engagement without overanalyzing

- Getting out of your own head to truly tune into others

If you've ever wondered why some leaders seem to navigate social situations effortlessly while others stumble, this episode offers clear, actionable insights to help you develop this essential EQ skill.

Let's be honest – working with people we don’t click with can be draining. Day in and day out, we have to chat with them, get things done with them, and manage our emotions around them.

It’s easy to get frustrated or stuck in a negative cycle. But what if we stopped waiting and hoping for them to change and focused on what we can control instead?

In this episode of The Manager Track podcast, Ramona Shaw offers a fresh perspective on how to manage tricky work relationships by focusing on what’s within our control: our mindset and reactions.

Ramona breaks the topic into two parts:

- Everyday strategies most of us are familiar with

- A deeper approach that leads to lasting change in how we relate to others

This episode helps you see how your perspective shapes your work relationships and offers actionable steps to make those tough interactions easier.

Let the work drama be a thing of the past, and start the year with a new approach to working with people you don't like.

This episode is a re-release of Ep 196, one of the most popular episodes of The Manager Track podcast. We'll be back next week, January 7th with a fresh new episode!

"Quitter's Day."

No, it's not the day that a person quits their job. It's the second Friday in January, designated as the day when most people are likely to give up on their New Year's resolution (unofficially, of course).

Change, no matter how big or small can be difficult because our brains are wired to seek established patterns of consistency.

I'm sure you can easily recall that feeling of discomfort when you've tried doing something new in the past. Maybe you wanted to get better at delegating work and you leaned into it. But seconds later you felt like you made a mistake and should take that task right back.

This feeling of discomfort is normal but when left unmanaged can result in a pattern of backsliding into old comfortable ways.

However, there are ways to create a positive feedback loop that fuels continued growth and self-improvement. If you are looking for a blueprint to help you break through your old behaviors and achieve new goals then this episode is for you.

This episode is a re-release of Ep 187, one of the most popular episodes of The Manager Track podcast. We'll be back Tuesday, January 7th with a new episode.

If you've ever been captivated by the challenges and dynamics of competitive reality shows like "Survivor," "Squid Game," or "Hell's Kitchen," you'll find this week's podcast episode particularly intriguing.

In the world of leadership, much like these reality TV competitions, the climb up the organizational hierarchy brings heightened challenges. Just as contestants face tougher trials and personalities clash under pressure, leaders encounter more complex problems and, inevitably, "difficult" people the further they get in the competition.

The real question isn't IF you'll encounter a challenging individual, but WHEN. Mastering the art of handling difficult people is not just a skill; it's a career game-changer.

Whether it's a challenging coworker, a demanding supervisor, or even a problematic direct report, we all encounter difficult people in our careers.

This episode provides valuable insights on how to navigate these situations, retain our power, maintain healthy relationships, and when it's time to consider stepping away.

If you've ever felt stressed, drained, or frustrated by "difficult" people, this episode is a must-listen.

Just like building a LEGO masterpiece, learning new skills and acquiring knowledge as a manager isn’t about collecting as many pieces as possible—it’s about making them fit meaningfully into your existing structure.

Each new concept or tool you learn should enhance and strengthen the foundation you’ve already built.

This means it's not just about absorbing information but about reshaping your approach, improving your strategies, and discarding what no longer serves you.

As a manager, knowing how you and your direct reports learn can make a big difference in your team's performance.

In this episode of The Manager Track podcast, Ramona Shaw explains how learning works and how our brains change when we learn new things. But it’s not just theory. Ramona shares simple, practical tips you can use right away.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

- How Neuroplasticity Works — Learn how the brain builds and strengthens connections.

- Different Ways People Learn — Why a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work and what you can do instead.

- Motivation and Learning — Tips to stay motivated when learning gets hard.

- Overcoming Learning Barriers — How to handle self-doubt, distractions, and feeling overwhelmed.

- Building a Growth Mindset — How to turn "I can’t do this" into "I can’t do this... yet."

This episode is full of useful ideas for managers who want to learn and grow to the best of their capabilities and want to create a team that’s always learning and improving.
