With your host, Pete McKitis. Hello and thanks for joining us here with episode 59 with Jeff McManus and here at the

How to Be All Smain Job Podcast, we try to get a good variety of folks who are

both practitioners and trainers, sort of the doers and thinkers.

And so Jeff is absolutely both of those and it's cool how he's got some fantastic, really in the trenches or in the weeds if you will

leadership experiences with his people and how he's sort of crystallized his

thinking insights along the way so I think you're in for a treat here and from his unique

perspective as the Director of Landscape Services at Ole Miss and how he's

rallied those team members to do more with less in some really cool ways.

So you're going to learn, one, a powerful storytelling approach to connect your team to a larger

purpose.

Two, how to massively stretch the impact of your learning and development dollar.

And three, why you might not want to fire that underperformer just yet.
