On this Compendium Podcast, our host Michael Stickler interviews James Potter author of The Successful Manager. Being a manager is one of the most challenging roles a person can take on in their professional life. When done extremely well, it catapults a person into career success and unlocks a team’s full potential. Yet, few people are provided with real training, coaching, or tools on how to manage well.
In this book, James Potter and Mike Kavanagh dissect every aspect of becoming a top-tier manager and distill it into practical tools and techniques—perfect for brand new and experienced managers alike. Clear, insightful, and eminently approachable, The Successful Manager is like sitting down for a cup of coffee with a world-class mentor who offers you the keys to mastering the art and science of successful management.
James Potter is the Chief Commercial Officer at Dunes Point Capital. In his prior role, Potter was the Senior Managing Director and Global Practice Leader at Blue Ridge Partners, a global management consulting firm that focuses exclusively on accelerating profitable revenue growth.
He has helped over 100 organizations and their leadership teams. The measure of his success is not pretty PowerPoint presentations or 2x2 frameworks, but the results he drives for his clients and their organizations.
Potter also founded two software companies that were acquired and has worked in public organizations such as General Electric and NBCUniversal.
