Today I talk with Nick McCormick who is a delivery manager for an IT services company and who has written a great little book on tips and practical advice for managers called Lead Well and Prosper. What I loved about this book was the realism...he talks about moving from mediocre to great!! Nick and I discuss

  • Is management as a skill in crisis?
  • The importance of managers having a realistic look at their own development and skill level.
  • Why is management so difficult?
  • Tips on moving from reading about management to becoming a better manager.
  • How change is uncomfortable.
  • How to make time for development in your busy schedule.
  • How power does not come from a title
  • What would be the best tip that Nick could give to improve your management skill?
  • How it is not difficult to stand out as a good manager as there is so many mediocre ones out there!
