Are you spending your time on what actually moves the needle—or just what feels comfortable?

In this episode of The Next Interview, Doland White sits down with Greg Kaiser, founder of Management Mastery and author of Management Rescue: You’re Promoted. Now What?, to unpack the real cost of poor time allocation and misaligned priorities in leadership.

Greg shares lessons from decades of experience, starting from the mailroom and rising to executive leadership, then transitioning to coaching managers and companies through meaningful transformation. Together, they dive into how leaders lose momentum when they confuse activity with impact, and how reclaiming your calendar is one of the most empowering steps you can take.

Actionable insights you’ll learn:

• Why tracking your time in 15-minute increments can reveal hard truths

• How to shift from reaction mode to strategic time allocation

• The one question every leader should ask before saying “yes” to anything

• How trust and candid conversations can change everything for your team

Greg brings authority, clarity, and a bit of humor to the conversation—making this episode a must-listen for managers looking to lead with intention instead of overload.
