Sometimes the manager's job is just to help people ID “What am I actually feeling?” and get the right label on it. Not even the deeper doctor Phil stuff of “Why am I feeling this?”, but like “what is it that I'm actually feeling?”, and then “Is my response coming in too hot?”

Management Muse, Mini Episode 13: Inequality in Healthcare with Welela Tereffe

“A recent study showed that when black women have a black obstetrician, their risk of maternal and infant mortality is something like three times lower. So, why is that? What’s the cause of that? I would say it’s likely the minimization of social distance, misperceptions, misdiagnosis, inattention, etc. that can happen because of our own implicit biases about people who are a different color than us.” --Welela Tereffe

Management Muse (Episode 12)
Turnarounds: Rhonda Mundhenck tells us to run with the wildebeest.

Managers are often decent at waging bets, but what if you had to take over a losing hand? Management is hard on a good day, but leading an organizational turnaround takes special skills and a willingness to persist in the face of imposing obstacles. How do you condition yourself to lead an organization when the odds are stacked against you? That’s what we cover on this episode of Management Muse.

“One of the central tenants of some of the schools of community organizing is that you never lead your people down a path that is unfamiliar. So, you have to take some of that old identity. Take the good [of] what that old identity was, or that core. You preserve that, and then you redefine and you recast for what the future is and for what the future holds.”--Rhonda

Episode 11 on Management Muse--Organizational Change: Solutions in the Dumpster

Organizations move slowly, until they don’t. They resist change, until they can’t. Why? On this episode of Management Muse we discuss an unusual—and unusually powerful—way of thinking about organizations…like they are trash cans! Hosts Cindi Baldi and Geoffrey Tumlin talk about one of the greatest management papers you’ve never read: “A Garbage Can Model of Organizational Choice,” the classic article written by Michael D. Cohen, James G. March, and Johan P. Olsen.

“It’s humbling to try to change an organization because no matter what you think you know or what methodology you’re following that seems to have all the answers, it’s a trashcan out there. It’s just not going to be clean.” –Geoffrey Tumlin

“You plant the seed and build some support. But don’t be surprised if there are periods of time where you’re buckling down and doing something else. You’re looking for your moment. Nothing actually happens all that fast in an organization. Until it does.” –Cindi Baldi

Management Muse Episode 10: Deception: Can lying be good? Matt McGlone, deception expert extraordinaire makes the case.

Deception isn’t always a bad thing—you probably don’t tell your significant other everything. There’s a difference between outright lies—almost always counterproductive and bad—and selective deception, which is not saying something. Sometimes, a little selective deception is a smart management strategy. After all, that’s what having trade secrets is all about.

“Think of deception in terms of misrepresenting. How much of it is really directed towards yourself and how much self-deception is involved. It’s a lot like art, in that people say ‘I’m not sure how to define it, but I know what it is when I see it’. When you look at all the definitions, it’s very, very hard to fit self-deception in there and yet self-deception is a really important part of human affairs. It happens in all sorts of situations. And self-deception can serve other deception. Many times the way that we go about misrepresenting a truth to others is on some level getting ourselves to believe it.” – Matt McGlone

Episode 9 on the Management Muse is Incentives: Dodging Carrots.

Organizational incentives are tricky, in at least eight counterproductive ways. This episode of Management Muse is inspired by“On the Folly of Rewarding A, While Hoping for B,” a timeless article written by Steven Kerr in the 1970s, this episode provides eight classic examples of incentives that frequently are either misplaced, distorted or internally inconsistent.

“Incentives are tricky. We have to get out of the mindset that we’re going to set up incentives and then just let it go because you have to swing back around (to look at) all the unintended consequences.” – Cindi Baldi

Episode 8: Transitions: Finding Yourself Is So Yesterday

Transitions are tough, even if you are a war hero. In this episode of Management Muse, former U.S. Army Special Operations (Ranger) officer and founder of the management consulting firm Praevius Group, Nate Self, talks about the most challenging transitions in his life, and shares his advice for more smoothly navigating work and home transitions. Links to podcast are in the comments.

“The idea of having some sort of external resource is an important one. It’s kind of like you’re in a boat and you carry an anchor along with you. You can still sail, but knowing you have that anchor—something that you can throw outside the boat if you need to stop and say I don’t want to move anymore or I need to sit where I am.” – Nate Self

Management Errors: The shortcut that is under construction

“In employee hiring, if you have to justify why you’re choosing one particular person and the justification is: ‘I just feel good about that person,’ then you are probably making a substitution error.” – Cindi Baldi
