On this episode, I
speak with Jerry Manas about his new leadership book, Managing the Gray
Areas. Jerry's book
explores the most challenging dilemmas that leaders struggle with, and offers
a set of guidelines, principles, and tools that can help navigate these murky
waters. Managing the Gray
Areas touches on topics
such as principles, values, ethics, decision-making, incentives, staffing,
critical thinking, and communication. It pulls ideas from a wide variety of
knowledge areas, such as philosophy, science, art, medicine, business, and
history. Ultimately, it is a book about leading with humanity. To contact
