What Managers Get Wrong About Leadership In Regulated Industries with Matthew Price

There is a big difference between management and leadership.

And that distinction could mean the difference between an empowered, engaged team that is able to stay agile and move an organization forward, and one that is disengaged, and unable to adapt to change.

In this episode of the Searching Smarter podcast, we’re joined by Matthew Price, author of How-to IQ and Founder of MKP Strategies, to explore the difference between management and leadership and the dangers of an overly constricted leadership style. 

Matthew shares a refreshingly open-minded approach to leadership, showing how regulation and red tape can be used as a guide rather than a single lane, and why leaders who can delegate well, lead with empathy, and resist the urge to control are the ones who truly progress.
