🎙️ Top 5 Management Fads of the Past Decade (and What’s Next for 2025)
The Manager Matt Podcast Show | Hosted by Matthew Haddock
In this episode, we're diving into the buzzwords, bandwagons, and bold ideas that swept through leadership circles—only to quietly fade away. From unlimited PTO and open-plan offices to Chief Happiness Officers and the rise (and stumble) of agile everything, we break down the Top 5 Management Fads of the Last Decade — why they caught on, why they didn’t stick, and what we’ve learned from them.
But we’re not stopping there.
We’re also looking ahead to the next wave of trends that could shape the way we lead in 2025 — from AI-powered decision-making to the rise of “quiet leadership” and remote-first incentives.
💡 What should stay?
Real leadership fundamentals: clarity, listening, respect, and consistent communication.
🎧 Whether you're a seasoned leader or just getting started, this episode offers insight, reflection, and a healthy dose of common sense to cut through the noise and focus on what really works.
👉 Tune in now, and let’s make sure we lead with intention—not just trend.
