In this interview, Wayne Turmel and I talk about how to implement the best ideas in our book to the tough jobs middle managers face. We discussed how to tell people that their project isn’t a top priority, how to work through competing priorities when some of those are being presented by sales people as critical, and how to build organizational power by leveraging “The Power Curve” as you ascend the corporate ladder.

Lisa has a very unique perspective in the interview in that she focused on the challenges of middle managers and she has been a manager herself facing many of the challenges we talk about in the book. It was a fun and lively conversation and one of my favorite interviews to date. Hope you’ll enjoy it and find good value in it as well. This is a second post, but people had asked to have the MP3 file available here. My Podcast Alley feed! {pca-b720560dbb15c2bd3b4fc510cc1d2c27}

In this mode, some leaders start to believe the old saying that, “people hate change.” We talk about how that actually isn’t true. The truth is that people don’t hate change, they hate corporate change programs. Our challenge as leaders is to break that cycle and approach strategic transformation and change in a way that engages people, creates ownership and produces breakthrough results. It can be done.
