Podcast Ep 18 | Are Managers Useless?

August 10, 2020

IN THIS EPISODE:

Are man­agers use­less? — Kevin and Brad dis­cuss an attempt by Google to remove all man­agers based on an ear­ly belief held by some of Google’s lead­ers and engi­neers that man­agers are, at best, a nec­es­sary evil, and at worst, a lay­er of bureaucracy.

Upon learn­ing the impor­tance of man­agers a research team sub­se­quent­ly proved that great man­agers pro­duce hap­pi­er and more pro­duc­tive teams. Kevin and Brad talk about the ten things that great man­agers do as iden­ti­fied by the research team — and pro­vide exam­ples from their own experiences.
