Truth, Lies, and Work is an award-winning psychology podcast from the HubSpot Podcast Network, hosted by Chartered Occupational Psychologist Leanne Elliott and business owner Al Elliott.

Every Thursday, we bring you a brand-new interview with an expert guest who knows how to create great workplace cultures.

🎙 This Week’s Guest: Vince Sanderson, Management & Leadership Expert

In today’s episode, we sit down with Vince Sanderson, a management, leadership, and team consultant with over a quarter of a million followers on social media. Vince has built a career helping businesses develop effective leadership skills and build exceptional teams.

Vince's journey began in teaching before transitioning into management consulting, giving him a unique blend of practical experience and real-world insights. His approach is refreshingly honest and focuses on creating environments where teams can thrive.

🧠 What We Covered:

First 30 Days as a Manager:

Meet your team and key stakeholders, including IT, HR, and lateral managers.
Build relationships that extend beyond your vertical team to avoid siloed working.

30 to 60 Days:

Shift from learning to refining processes.
Identify where there are gaps between what the business says is important and where time is actually spent.

60 to 90 Days:

Assess whether you have the right people in the right roles.
The impact of the "Bad Apple" experiment: how one person can decrease team productivity by 30-40%.

Key Takeaway:

Managers should create an environment where others can excel, focusing on clarity of purpose and emotional intelligence.
Vince’s mantra: "Leadership isn't built in a day; it's built daily."
