Why 1:1's can be draining and how to the secret to getting where you want to be

What makes a great leader different from a great manager? Joe confesses why one-on-ones drain him, what he learned in the Boardroom of a publicly-traded company about persistence, and how changing environments can unlock hidden potential -- especially with support from good managers. Key Takeaways: - CEOs and entrepreneurs need to know the difference between leadership and management (and then prioritize their roles accordingly). - How recurring 1-on-1 meetings can become a waste of time—and the alternative that works better. - How changing environments helps people see -- and know -- what they couldn’t before. - Why making others look good isn't just cynical career growth advice. Plus Joe shares real-life observations from the boardroom that have shaped his leadership style as an entrepreneur: be persistent, give tough feedback well, and trust your direct reports to get sh*t done.
