ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
Short episodes for busy managers. Twice a week, under five minutes each, one idea you can use before your next meeting.
Dr. Donita Brown spent two decades in Fortune 500 healthcare operations before becoming a management professor and leadership coach. She's seen what works from inside the org chart and from the front of the classroom, and she brings both to every episode.
No fluff, no filler, no fifty-minute monologue. Just a real idea about leading people: how to give feedback that lands, when to delegate, why consistency beats motivation, and what to do about the parts of management nobody trained you for. Every episode ends with one question worth carrying into your week.
If you lead a team, or you're about to, this is the fastest five minutes in your feed.
