Finding, developing, and retaining terrific team members is hard, but finding and retaining exceptional managers is even more challenging. While most positions within an organization are tasked with a particular set of responsibilities based on experience and skills, managers are charged with vast and complex duties. In recent times, both employers and employees have come to expect managers to keep up with the industry management trends, run a successful team, and still get work done.  A manager’s ability to navigate countless structural and procedural issues while keeping a cool head is what best describes excellent management. The phrase, ‘that’s the best boss I’ve ever had,’ is often used by employees to describe great managers. With that in mind, we welcome Ralph Peterson to this week’s episode to help you become the boss everyone wants to be associated with.
