86: Michael Wherry skis his way to better business skills [podcast]
Michael Wherry has been downhill skiing since he was very young. And now he's gotten his daughter in the sport, even taking a trip together to Breckenridge, Colorado this past winter. It was during this trip that he realized how much skiing had taught him how to be a better manager. Because everyone has had different experiences, a good manager needs to find the right questions to get others to explain what they\u2019re processing in their head.
In this episode, Michael and I talk about how people need to feel comfortable at work. The firm or company needs to be open to everyone putting small things in their space that show who they are. It\u2019s ideal if management leads the way because, "Newer staff needs someone to show them the way that work isn't everything." He\u2019s seen some firms do \u201cBusy Season Olypics\u201d playing Minute To Win It type games to break up the monotony, which is something that doesn\u2019t necessarily only have to be during Busy Season.
