Hi. I'm Meredith, and welcome to Management Matters.
If you've ever had that moment where you're sitting at your desk, maybe talking to a friend, staring at a problem, thinking to yourself, I have no idea what to do next, or this just feels sticky and hard, then this is the podcast for you.
For the last decade…….I have spoken to thousands of managers just like yourself. Folks who are in the thick of it, dealing with real challenges in real time, and in one quick 15ish minute phone call, we work through their issues together so that they feel clearer, more confident and better equipped to move forward.
The most common thing I hear from folks at the end of those calls is, “How do i get more of this?” Whether they’re asking for another call time or a chance to learn from others’ questions and situations, I’ve consistently heard, “I want more of this conversation and of you!” YOU asked for this - and I’m finally delivering! Welcome to the Management Matters podcast! This is your chance to get quick, practical advice that you can act on immediately.
Every episode, I'll take live calls from managers like yourself who will share a challenge - maybe a struggle with trying to delegate, a tricky conversation, stepping into a new role and navigating the power dynamics that come with it and we’ll talk about how to move forward. These recorded call will give you a chance to listen and learn - whether you’re the one calling in or you’re listening in on our conversation on the podcast later!
So please call in! bring me your management headache, your toughest team problem, the one thing that's keeping you up at night. Let’s chat and I promise you'll leave the conversation with something clear, actionable, and that will make a difference right away. And if you don't have a question today, listening to these real, unfiltered conversations will give you a behind the scenes look at how other managers are handling similar struggles and the solutions that actually work. It's not theory, it's not fluff, it's raw, real world management, and it's exactly what you need to get unstuck.
Over the years and talking to 1000s of people, I’ve learned that we all have our own stuff, that context matters, and our relationships are different. But here's what else I've learned: we're not actually that different, the stuff we're struggling with, the stuff that feels hard, the things that are tripping us up. You all, a lot of those are shared challenges. So let me help you. Let me draw on the wisdom of those who have come before you, those who are alongside you, and let's solve this stuff together. This is management matters, where real leadership meets real life challenges.Thanks for being here and joining me. Let's get started and figure it out together.
