Managerial culture served up in the field

Les Pieds dans le Plat is the podcast that looks at managerial culture where it is played out: in practice, not in grand intentions.

Each month, Claudio Vandi (Product Director at NUMA) welcomes a manager and leaders to talk about what it means, in concrete terms, to embody a managerial culture on a daily basis:

  • What rituals structure their teams?
  • What practices help them keep values alive in moments of tension or uncertainty?
  • Which decisions really counted?
  • And what else is sticking?

With a straightforward, no-nonsense approach, our guests look back at the key moments in their careers - the successes, the headaches, the lessons learned. The aim: to understand how management translates into action, over the course of weeks, meetings, projects and sometimes uncomfortable discussions.

A podcast for those who want to change the way they manage: managers, HR or L&D executives.
