Alrighty folks, welcome back to Season 3, Episode 23 of Transacting Value Podcast!
Laura Leduc is a professor at James Madison University, training the next generation of workplace managers. She became interested in the management of people when, earlier in her career, she was promoted to a managerial position and was fascinated by how vastly different people can be. Each person sitting in a meeting can walk away with very different feelings and reactions. She thought being a manager would mostly involve making decisions, but she found the people portion of management to be more complicated and significant. This discovery prompted her to pursue a Ph.D. in management, desiring to make the world a better place by making better managers.
One lesson that is difficult for many students to grasp is that there is rarely one right answer when it comes to managing teams, people, and projects. For generations who grew up on multiple-choice tests where there was only one right answer, this concept can be difficult to accept. Students are graded on how well they research and then make and defend their decisions. The ability to get buy-in is also critical for leaders.
Josh and Laura also discuss the following:
- Self-awareness and integrity
- Why leaders need to be clear on their values
- Why it’s important to avoid making decisions when emotions are strong.
- Tips for making decisions when you feel stuck and unsure
- Know when you should put off making a decision
- Authentic leadership theory and why it’s important to that your values align with those of the organization
Quotes from today’s episode
“Our emotions help us understand right and wrong.”
“My goal is for there to be fewer bad managers in the world.”
“It’s impossible to do this job perfectly because there are so many different possibilities.”
“To the extent that you can act according to your values, you’ll be a happier person.”
