Welcome to Manager Tools.

Today's cast, exploit your wiggle room, part one.

The questions this cast answers are, what are the limits of my role?

What can I do when there's no corporate guidance?

If you want answers to these questions and more, keep listening.

If you're thinking that you'd like to have the kind of power

Mark's talking about in this podcast,

And you're in luck because we've just launched a new podcast, executive tools,

all about the learning that you need to do

Executive tools is only available to our licensees

and it's just one of the benefits of our $200 a year license.

Find out more by going to managertools.com

and looking for a license in the product dropdown.
