New episode alert. Being in the Zone is live!
Picture a tennis player staring at the scoreboard instead of the ball. Marc Inzelstein says that’s what trying to control outcomes looks like, and it’s how you lose the game.
Marc is the co-founder of Indiggo, an executive advisor to senior leaders, and the author of Essential Leadership: Practicing L.O.V.E. in Turbulent Times. We talk about control vs. influence, why micromanagement tanks performance, the masks we all wear to work, and the day a forgotten lapel mic cracked up an entire brainstorming session.
Take your work seriously. Don’t take yourself too seriously.
Listen to Humor in the C-Suite wherever you get your podcasts.
