What happens when a brilliant vision meets the messy reality of execution? In the space between leadership's aspirational goals and the day-to-day work of contributors lies the often misunderstood—yet absolutely critical—role of management.
Matt Lay, author of "Manage Your Gaps" and co-founder of Inflection Point Nexus Advisors, reveals why so many organizations struggle with this "messy middle."

The conversation explores Matt's revolutionary EPIC model of management (Environment, Performance, Identity, Communication), the concept of Fulfillment ROI (measuring energy invested versus value received), and practical applications of Patrick Lencioni's Working Genius framework. Matt challenges traditional thinking about generational differences, arguing that what truly separates people isn't age but communication preferences and innate wiring.
For founders, executives, and managers navigating today's complex workplace, this episode offers a fresh perspective on what makes teams truly thrive.
