Podcast Description: “Building Your Successor – The Smartest Thing You’ll Ever Do”
In this episode of The Manager Matt Podcast, Matt dives into one of the most powerful — and often overlooked — responsibilities of great leadership: developing your successor.
Many managers fear the idea of training someone to take their job, but the truth is, that’s exactly what strong leaders do. Matt explores why building capability within your team isn’t about giving up control — it’s about creating lasting success and a legacy that endures long after you’ve moved on.
You’ll learn how to:
✅ Think long-term and spot potential future leaders in your team
✅ Break development into practical, short-term coaching steps
✅ Delegate, stretch, and support people without setting them up to fail
✅ Coach individuals to lead in their way — not just copy yours
Whether you’re planning your next career move or simply want your team to thrive without you, this episode will show you why building your successor is the smartest thing you’ll ever do as a leader.
🎧 Listen now to discover how to future-proof your team — and your career — by leading with vision, trust, and intent.
