Hello again! It's been too long.

In this episode, I'll share with you the big news about the future of the show. Hint: I'm moving to Substack (mattstone.substack.com) as part of a bigger offering to support new managers.

This episode features a preview of a longer conversation I had with EQ (Emotional Intelligence) Executive Coach Jamelle Lindo.

We talked about the importance of emotional intelligence in leadership.

Jamelle shares a bit about his own EQ journey and explains what emotional intelligence is, and how he helps leaders develop these skills. We also talk about the challenges faced by new managers in managing up and down.

The conversation highlights the significance of assertiveness in delivering effective feedback and the role of emotional intelligence in navigating different managerial scenarios.
