What Management Style Is Best To Run A Successful Business - CIFC Episode 135

This week, Pat and I chat about different management styles that we have experienced at places we’ve worked at before joining the army, while we were in military service, and companies that we have observed about their management style. We talk about how there is a difference between management and leadership roles, and that not everyone is cut out to be a manager, but can be one hell of a leader. With any discussion about management, we also share the best managers that we have ever worked with that taught us lessons that we use till this day, and the absolute worst ones that made us eat shit sandwiches on the daily. I also share my strengths and weaknesses as a CEO managing hundreds of people, and how I am improving to work on a structure that is suitable for my abilities, my team and the whole of the company.
