Charlie Mike : A Podcast from Santos Picacio

94 episodes - English - Latest episode: 21 days ago - ★★★★★ - 5 ratings

I’m Santos Picacio, and I have been leading men and women in some capacity for the past 30 years. I’m a retired military officer from Southern Texas and decided to settle down with my lovely wife here in New Braunfels, TX. I decided to make a podcast because many organizations are taking on new leaders and expecting them to “lead” yet not showing them how to do so. I wanted to make a podcast that could “virtually” teach, coach, and mentor other junior and senior leaders across various organizations. Ask me questions, leave comments (both good and bad) and bring topics to me that you’d like me to discuss. Leadership is a two-way learning model; being able to collaborate with listeners, peers, and senior leaders alike, I’ve learned so much! Thank you for stopping by and giving me a listen! Sincerely, Santos G. Picacio Jr.Creator & Host - Charlie Mike

June 15, 2024 18:00 - 13 minutes - 9.16 MB

In today's episode, we're diving deep into a leadership topic many ask me about, the difference between a leader and a supervisor. I've also heard this as a leader versus a boss. Oh, you can bet there is a difference, and those who can't see the difference probably don't have a great rapport with their team or organization. I want to pick this one apart because there is a time to use both, and if you can master when to use both, you'll be a leader who can earn your organization's trust and r...
