Managementcraft Turns 5 and Lisa and I Celebrate. Check it Out
Posted on 04. Aug, 2009 by Wayne in General
One of my favorite people in the management space is Lisa Haneberg. She’s been a guest on the show numerous times and i often link to her work. Well a couple of things happened recently you might want to check out.
The first is that her blog, ManagementCraft has been around now for 5 years- nine months longer than this show and is an excellent resource for managers everywhere. She recently asked some of her favorite bloggers (i pause to blush at the excellent company I’m in ) to tell her what we’ve learned in the last 5 years. My answer to that question is in yesterday’s post. Check it out.
Secondly, I was able to finally meet Lisa. For all we’ve collaborated, interviewed each other and supported each other’s work over the years, we finally met last week in Chicago for dinner. Yes she does exist, and she’s as lively, smart, funny and terrific as you’d expect. She ambushed me by pulling out a tape recorder during after-dinner beverages and recorded our conversation. Of course, what you think happened, happened. She listened and added intelligent comment while I rambled on but it’s the kind of conversation this show was built on. I think it was a lot of fun and I think you’ll enjoy it. Download and listen to it here.
Wayne: You are too kind. I like the ambush style of podcasting. It rather suits me.
Glad to see someone took you off-guard Wayne. Your humor disarms me every time we talk. Glad it came back your way.
Congrats on meeting Lisa. She is one-in-a-million…as are you.
I learn a lot from you by your humble tone and your ability to make even the deepest of topics seem fun. Thanks for being unafraid to be you!
Phil, thanks for your kind words. I think our conversation was fun and was surprisingly coherent. From now on I’m using tequila to assist me in all panel discussions if these are the kind of results we’ll get!
