Welcome to Manager Tools.

Roll Power Revisited, you speak for the CEO.

Part 2.

This cast answers these questions.

How much roll power do I have?

Folks, this cast is about organizations and role power, but remember it's directed at you,

the manager. The heart of our business is helping you the individual manager be more effective and more efficient

by teaching you what you need to know and helping you grow your organization.

The best way for you as an individual to start the process beyond just listening is to become a licensee of our work.

This is especially important when you come across a topic you need to revisit, but you don't want to have to skim through

the cast and 40 or 45 minutes of me droning on when you can just read four or five or six pages of

specific and detailed show notes that cover all of the content in the cast itself.

We look forward to you becoming a licensee and developing a better relationship with you.
