   Lead with Relationships. Deliver Results.

   What does it actually look like to lead through relationships? In this episode of Manager to Manager, Kamaria talks with Bob Schon, a sales director whose path from ministry into corporate leadership has shaped how he shows up as a people leader. Bob describes himself as a relational leader, and as you listen, you’ll hear what that really means in practice. Not avoiding accountability, but choosing to lead through influence, curiosity, and connection whenever possible. He shares stories about the moments that shaped his approach, including what it felt like to be on the receiving end of directive leadership, and why he made a conscious decision to do things differently. In this conversation, we explore: • Why relationships often unlock more effort than authority• How optimism shows up in everyday leadership moments• What it looks like to lead through questions, not just answers• The role of passion and purpose in how people show up to work• How trust makes difficult conversations more productive Bob also shares the idea of a “magnetic personality” — the kind of presence that makes people feel better when you walk into the room — and how he’s working to build that across his team. If you’ve ever thought about how to bring more connection into your leadership, while still holding expectations and driving results, this episode offers a clear, real-world example of what that can look like.

   What I Wish I Knew: Lessons from the Early Days of Leadership

   What would you tell yourself on day one as a manager? In this episode, Kamaria sits down with Kaitlyn Rios — a Doctor of Physical Therapy, certified wound specialist, and VP of Clinical Business Development — who has climbed from her first supervisory role all the way to leading national teams across startups, corporations, and privately held organizations. Kaitlyn gets candid about what no one told her stepping into leadership, starting with a revelation that still makes her laugh: she didn't realize her new role actually meant leading people. From there, the conversation gets real about the four jobs every manager is actually doing at once, the burnout that comes when people leadership becomes an afterthought, and why protecting your calendar isn't just a time management tip — it's a survival strategy. Kamaria and Kaitlyn also dig into the support systems that hold good managers together, why trust is the foundation of any meaningful leadership relationship, and what it looks and feels like to create a team culture where people truly feel safe to take risks and grow. Whether you're brand new to management or a seasoned leader, this one is a candid trip down memory lane with hard-won lessons you can use today.

[…] And I love that. I love that. We're aiming to steer people in the direction that they should be going. And sometimes they don't even know what it is that they're going towards. Sometimes they don't understand what it is that they need to get from here to there. But so much can be achieved through relationship. I would agree with that. And I have found that the better the relationship is, the fewer times I have to be extra assertive in what needs to happen. So when I have good team relations, It allows me to lead to your point from influence more than authority. How, if you had to just like gauge for yourself, how often do you have to go to the bucket of, because I said so, or do you feel like your style allows you to do more of the mentoring and the influencing that you want to do?
