Trouble with another manager, dating advice and prioritizing time
In this podcast Pernille Steen Pedersen, PhD and Assistant Professor at CBS builds on her research on the younger generation in the workforce when discussing the dilemma of what to do when a young employee seeks advice on her love life.
The panel also discusses what matters most when hiring someone new - gut feeling or tests and numbers? And how a manager is under double pressure when having to act as a conflict mediator while there are also operations to look after - and the manager is measured on operation and development. How does the manager prioritize? Are there any tools for that?

Underrun by employee, a step up the career ladder and insecure employees
What do you do, if one of your employees undermines your authority? Or if a merger creates insecurity among employees?
Associate Professor at CBS, Camilla Sløk, joins forces with experienced leaders from Falck and Lead+, to discuss leadership dilemmas on the basis of leadership research and experience from practice.
The panel also gives good advice on how to develop from being a manager of employees to being a manager of managers. And the panelists pinpoint which characteristic they think is important to master as a leader.

The price of meetings, self-leadership, and trouble in personal life
In this new episode, Peter Holdt Christensen, leadership researcher at CBS, highlights the fact that the boundaries between private life and work life have become much more fluid, and as a consequence it is more legitimate for a manager to ask employees about his/her private life in situations where private life seems to influence how the employee performs at work.
This point is put forward when discussing a question from a leader who is unsure about how to handle an employee who seems stressed and sloppy with his tasks. How far can he go in terms of meddling in the employee's private life?
The panel gives good advice on how to get more impact as a leader. It also discusses questions from a manager with a team that does not want a new team leader, but jointly wants to lead the department, and a dilemma about what to do if salespeople think that too many internal meetings are prohibiting them to spend time on sales that can boost their bonus.

The director is sweet on one of my employees
Where is the ethical line drawn when retaining a customer? What do you do when the CEO refuses to acknowledge that a colleague is stressed? And how do you handle a CEO who seems sweet on a younger employee?
Associate Professor, Frank Bevort, from CBS delves into leadership challenges together with leaders from the business world, using both research and practical experience.
The panel also provides good advice on how to handle power struggles, and they also discuss tools, such as personality profiling.
