What I’ve Learned as a Senior Manager: T...

In this episode of The Manager Matt Podcast Show, we’re getting real about leadership.

After years on the front line of senior management, I’m sharing the essential lessons no one puts in the handbook — the wins, the wipeouts, and the things I wish I’d known sooner.

We’ll cover:

• Why knowing your P&L isn't optional
• How rogue processes quietly wreck performance
• The dangers of chasing shiny commercial distractions
• Why service still reigns supreme
• How labour and waste can sink your profit fast
• And why the data you send upstairs might just undo you

This is straight-talking leadership advice — not from a textbook, but from the trenches.

Whether you’re already in senior management or on your way there, this episode will give you the tools (and a few laughs) to lead with focus, discipline, and credibility.

💡 Listen in, take notes — and avoid the “Oh no, not again” moments in your own leadership journey.
