  EP34: Curious Bosses - The People that Make Companies Innovative & Interesting

  Sep 28, 202612 minS2

  Curiosity is one trait that works in two places: the products and initiatives you build, and the people you lead. This week, Charles Evans breaks down why curious leaders get better results in both. Charles pairs two ideas. Edgar Schein's Humble Inquiry explains the behavior: ask questions you don't already know the answer to, and practice "here-and-now humility," the recognition that the person in front of you knows something you don't. Ian Leslie's book Curious explains the targets: epistemic curiosity drives better products and strategy, and empathic curiosity drives trust and stronger relationships. The episode also covers what curious leaders do in practice, how to keep curiosity from reading as indecision, and why a leader who stops asking questions may be showing an early sign of burnout. #LeadOnPurpose

  Episode 32: When Hires Become Fires — Traps New Executives Face

  Sep 14, 202610 minS2

  In this episode of Management in Minutes, Charles Evans names three traps that repeat across industries, company sizes, and levels of seniority: Culture Clash, where new executives move too fast or try to change the culture before understanding how the organization actually works; the Infrastructure Gap, where companies invest heavily in finding the right leader but offer little onboarding or ongoing support once that person starts; and Political Blind Spots, where trust with an existing team always takes longer to build than expected. Drawing on Michael Watkins' research from The First 90 Days and sharing a personal story of nearly falling into one of these traps himself, Charles offers a practical shift for each one, because these traps aren't about talent or capability. They're about awareness. #LeadOnPurpose

  EP31: When to Get Executive Coaching and Why it Matters

  Sep 8, 20269 minS2

  How do you know when it's time to get an executive coach? In this episode of Management in Minutes, Charles Evans, a certified executive and leadership coach, answers from both sides of the relationship: as someone who has coached leaders and someone who has been coached himself. Charles breaks down what coaching actually is by contrasting it with the modalities people often confuse it for: therapy, which looks backward; mentoring, which hands you a template based on someone else's experience; and consulting, which does the work for you. Coaching starts with where you are now and helps you build your own leadership square, something that can't be borrowed or read about, only built through practice, feedback, and accountability. This episode covers when coaching matters most across a career, from the first season of new management to moments of strategic uncertainty, major transitions, and operationalizing personal or professional change, backed by verified data on coaching ROI, including why the earliest window of a leadership role is when coaching returns are highest. #LeadOnPurpose

  EP30: Red Flags for Burned Out Leaders

  Aug 31, 202611 minS2

  Every leadership conversation about burnout assumes it's happening to the team. The direct reports. The frontline staff. Almost nobody talks about the fact that leaders experience burnout too and often, nobody is watching for it in them. In this episode of Management in Minutes, Charles Evans names what burnout actually looks like at the leadership level, not the general version everyone talks about, but three specific, often-invisible signs: decision fatigue that shows up as quiet abdication rather than visible struggle, declining presence both physical and emotional, and a growing loss of direction where planning stops and the role becomes a hamster wheel. Charles also draws a critical distinction between fatigue, temporary and situational and burnout, the chronic wear of compounding circumstances where the person either never built proper supports or has stayed past their season. Leaders are people too. They need someone looking out for their wellbeing just as much as the people they lead. #LeadOnPurpose
