Everyone, grab your hats! My special guest, Steve Wright, has brought his, and I have mine, so at least put on your thinking caps and listening ears. Mr. Wright is a leadership coach and tech industry veteran who brings decades of experience in IT, coaching, and personal development. We dive deep into how leadership evolves across cultures, industries, and generations, and how empathy and emotional intelligence are essential in today’s workforce. From his time in San Diego to launching international teams, Mr. Wright shares how great leadership isn’t about command—it’s about care.
We explore how workplace coaching is still misunderstood in places like the UK, where it’s often seen as a remedial tool instead of a pathway to growth. Mr. Wright breaks down how middle managers—the often overlooked layer of leadership—need guidance and emotional support just as much as executives. Whether you're managing teams, navigating remote work, or struggling with burnout, this conversation is packed with insight on how to lead effectively while staying human.
We also have some laughs about club life, British tea, and the stereotypes that follow leadership titles around the world. I share my own stories of military leadership gone wrong, while Mr. Wright reflects on bad bosses, school prefect egos, and how to hold space for others without trying to fix everything. This is one of those episodes where wisdom meets humor and practical tools meet heart to make Managers Who Lead.
