Fireside Chat with Michael Kroth

How can noncharismatic managers motivate employees? - Chat with Michael Kroth

In this 28 minute podcast, I chat with speaker, educator, and expert Michael Kroth, author of The Manager as Motivator. Discussion topics include tips for noncharismatic managers, essential elements of a motivating work environment, and the role that managers play - good and bad - in motivating performance. We talk about what gets in the way of developing managers who are also highly motivating and the challenges this causes as companies struggle to compete for top talent. If you are a manager, a trainer, or someone who wants to better influence and inspire excellence, you will want to listen to this podcast.

I really enjoyed this interview Lisa - thanks. I work a lot with managers who worr that they aren't "inspirational" enough. It great to get affirmation for them that a humane, empathic approach to working with people is the foundation of creating a motivating environment.

Great news for the quiet achievers!

Megan - Glad you enjoyed it. Sometime the quiet or noncharismatic managers end up making the greatest difference because they are more reflective and often tend to be better listeners.
