THE REALITY

It’s not you. It’s not your team.

It’s the lack of tools.

You are a are smart, capable leader, doing your best. Your problem isn’t your people, it’s that no one ever gave you a playbook for how to manage your team. Here’s what changes when you have the right tools:

01

Get out of the weeds for good

Stop being the bottleneck on your own team. Learn how to hand off work in a way that actually sticks, so you can operate at the right altitude.

02

Make hard conversations easier

Feedback, conflict, underperformance. Every episode gives you language and frameworks you can use in your next conversation, not just theory.

03

Get your team to step up

When people feel clear, supported, and trusted, they show up differently. This podcast shows you how to build that environment, episode by episode.

ABOUT YOUR HOST

Lia Garvin

Lia is a 3x bestselling author, TEDx speaker, and team operations consultant with experience leading operations inside Google, Microsoft, and Apple. She started Managing Made Simple because she kept having the same conversation with leaders everywhere: the skills that got you promoted are not the same skills you need to lead people well. Nobody hands you that playbook. This show does.

Dealing with people is HARD.
This guide makes it EASY.

The feedback you keep swallowing, because you don’t want to deal with them getting defensive.

The star performer you won’t check on, because if they’re not happy, that’s a raise you didn’t plan for.

You’re not avoiding these because you’re bad at this. You’re avoiding them because no one ever gave you the words. So they sit there, costing you the people you can least afford to lose.

NOT ANYMORE.
