Management in Minutes delivers sharp, no-fluff lessons for professionals navigating the real challenges of professional and personal leadership. Hosted by executive, coach and author Charles Evans, each episode is built around hard-earned insights from 20+ years in management and 1-on-1 coaching. In straight to the point talk, you'll learn how to lead with clarity, build trust, and make confident decisions under pressure.
EP34: Curious Bosses - The People that Make Companies Innovative & Interesting
Curiosity is one trait that works in two places: the products and initiatives you build, and the people you lead. This week, Charles Evans breaks down why curious leaders get better results in both.
Charles pairs two ideas. Edgar Schein's Humble Inquiry explains the behavior: ask questions you don't already know the answer to, and practice "here-and-now humility," the recognition that the person in front of you knows something you don't. Ian Leslie's book Curious explains the targets: epistemic curiosity drives better products and strategy, and empathic curiosity drives trust and stronger relationships.
The episode also covers what curious leaders do in practice, how to keep curiosity from reading as indecision, and why a leader who stops asking questions may be showing an early sign of burnout. #LeadOnPurpose

Episode 32: When Hires Become Fires — Traps New Executives Face
In this episode of Management in Minutes, Charles Evans names three traps that repeat across industries, company sizes, and levels of seniority: Culture Clash, where new executives move too fast or try to change the culture before understanding how the organization actually works; the Infrastructure Gap, where companies invest heavily in finding the right leader but offer little onboarding or ongoing support once that person starts; and Political Blind Spots, where trust with an existing team always takes longer to build than expected. Drawing on Michael Watkins' research from The First 90 Days and sharing a personal story of nearly falling into one of these traps himself, Charles offers a practical shift for each one, because these traps aren't about talent or capability. They're about awareness. #LeadOnPurpose
