In many episodes, I mention my favorite manager at the company I was by far the most engaged. We talk about his leadership style and why our team did so well under his management, as well as his bumpy start as a manager and how he learned to let go of trying to control everything — so much so that his teams thrived past what any of us ever imagined.
