M2 ep 001 - Managing Managers, an Introduction

Jim Prinzing and Thomas Cox share their breakthrough understanding of what followers need in order to follow at their best, which paints a clear target for exactly what each leader needs to do, and learn, in order to lead with excellence.
We further develop the idea that true lean and learning organizations need this model as their prerequisite to the work of collaborative problem solving needed to create excellence at all levels of an organization.
