Best Management Podcasts According To Managers

Coaching Real Leaders

One of my favorite leadership podcasts is the “Coaching Real Leaders” from Harvard Business Review. This management podcast interviews managers who are encountering challenges and discusses ways to overcome. There is a new episode on “how to handle feeling overwhelmed” that is particularly relevant and helpful in our current work climate.  The podcast is really helpful for both new managers, and for more seasoned managers who are facing a certain challenge or barrier.

Snippets of Leadership

Snippets of leadership is a rapid-fire podcast, precisely thought for managers who do want to grow and enable others to develop professionally, but that at the same time do not have enough time to invest in going through books and courses. Snippets of leadership delivers quick and actionable tips that can be applied on a daily basis, in about 5 minutes per episode.

Cold Call

Cold Call by Harvard Business Review offers a goldmine of information for managers looking to level up their approach, as it’s filled with case studies that everyone can draw valuable lessons from. Be it on improving employee morale, improving productivity, or handling internal conflict, Cold Call does a great job of equipping managers of the future with everything they need to drive their teams towards undeniable success.

Dose of Leadership

Through his enlightening interviews with a host of motivational leaders and industry experts, Richard Rierson has created the perfect podcast for anyone looking to hone their managerial skills, regardless of their niche or industry. With valuable lessons and key takeaways, the podcast is fairly easy to absorb and most listeners will resonate with the impactful stories and common pitfalls that professionals in leadership roles experience.

The Manager’s Mindset

The Manager’s Mindset is a great podcast for managers. It provides excellent insights and advice on all aspects of managerial work, from setting goals and making decisions to developing employees and dealing with difficult situations. The hosts are experienced professionals who offer helpful tips and real-world examples, making the show both informative and enjoyable to listen to.

Radical Candor

My all-time favorite management podcast is Radical Candor. This podcast teaches managers how to have vital conversations in the workplace. I learned about improving work culture, becoming a more tuned-in leader, and getting results. I always get actionable advice on practical management matters. This podcast host, Kim Scott, keeps my attention, despite my ADHD, because of its funny references and lighthearted style.

Let’s Talk Teams

This is a business leadership podcast targeted at managers to help them in their personal growth and offer practical lessons that help in the effective management of teams. The podcast is hosted by Chris Zaugg and Michael Probert, who are the co-founders of Uptick. In a time when teams are evolving, with many of them moving remote, it is advisable for managers at all capacities to get some advice from professional team managers with a proven record of success with the company they’ve built. The podcast features an impressive array of leadership and team management topics that will intrigue all business managers and open their minds to the possibilities that effective team management has to offer.

The Women in the Arena

Management is more than just knowing the rules of the game and learning the latest theoretical and practical innovations in the field. It is also about real-world experiences, lessons learned from everyday challenges and forging new paths. The Women in the Arena podcast allows you to learn from the experiences of other women who are trying and winning in their respective fields. While some may not even leave you with hardcore management lessons, all of them enrich you with invigorating insights that help you tackle work as well as personal challenges.
