Description
Ep.203: Alex (@aebridgeman) is joined by David Dodson (@Dave-Dodson).
Today’s episode is a re-run of my conversation with David Dodson, an investor, professor, former CEO, and author of one of my new favorite management books, The Manager’s Handbook. We talk about the strategies and tactics he’s learned over many years of studying high-performing CEOs and distilled into his book.
If you’re looking for a belated gift for an ambitious friend, I cannot recommend highly enough gifting a copy of The Manager’s Handbook. And now, please enjoy this fantastic primer discussion on the book with David Dodson.
