Boss Class from The Economist

The best bosses create systems for solving problems old and new—from navigating working-from-home demands to hiring the right people, from running good meetings to managing themselves. 


Andrew Palmer, author of the Bartleby column, looks for advice on how to be a better boss by talking to people who have actually done the job. Listen to The Economist's seven-episode guide for managers.

    Interesting and witty
    These are great. I wish they were longer, and I hope they have an extended run. The interviews and observations are illuminating and properly nuanced. A few times when things seem to be veering into the simplistic or panacean, Andrew Palmer grounds us with a direct skewering or subtle aside. It’s a great balance of the aspirational and practical with the goal of helping managers do better for their teams.

    Unalloyed management savvy, neatly packaged
    I wish I’d had this package of insight when i started managing people and processes. It covers all the bases with with wit and wisdom.

    Only 7 episodes planned and you require a subscription?
    Let me get this straight. You only plan to produce seven episodes of this podcast, and you require an expensive subscription to the Economist in order for anyone to listen to any of them? Lol. I think the Economist needs to re-think its whole podcasting business strategy. 😂

    Paid subscription still with ads
    Paying for a subscriber only membership still to hear paid sponsors announcements in the podcast.
