This podcast is about all things work-related; we offer advice and/or perspective on jobs, work and management. Depending on the episode, my co-host and I may choose a particular topic or theme, and then focus on it in some detail. But for others—what we refer to as our "Jam sessions"—things are a bit more candid and free-flowing. As for who the two of us are?

We also discuss why managers are often threatened by employees who excel, how management by loerarchy resolves the “advisor-evaluator” paradox (the topic of the previous episode), and why in a hierarchy, you only need to fool one person some of the …
