🧐 reviews for this one are terrifying.

Thank you for the recs! I’m leading a very large team right now with the majority of the team being older than myself. I have 2 team members who seem to take issue with this. And in some instances are being downright disrespectful towards me. I think I’m being too nice and flexible to try and make them more comfortable but that approach doesn’t seem to be helping. And I don’t like escalating these things to the MD because that makes me feel like I can’t handle these things on my own. I think it comes down to needing to sharpen my leadership skills. Thanks for the recs. Might just order all of them!

Anything by Patrick Lencioni. I would start with 5 Dysfunctions of a Team. His books are easy reads with practical steps to implement!

Currently a Wealth Advisor for Citi but I honestly hate it here with a passion it’s the worst company I’ve ever worked for in my life and I’ve been in Wealth Management in the banking channel for over a decade. Series 7, Series 63, Life, CFP, ChFC, and soon to have my MBA with a focus in Mergers & Acquisitions. I’m look to enter another area of Finance at this point instead of starting over somewhere else from scratch, but not sure what direction to go. Interested in Investment Banking or M&A.

For those of you in healthcare related account management, what is your healthcare background? I am clinical and getting ready to hire a higher level account manager. I am really biased toward people with clinical/in hospital experience because, quite frankly, healthcare is a different beast - lots of hand holding and change management. I don’t want to miss the right person because of my bias, so im wondering how many healthcare related AMs have healthcare/clinical experience… thanks in advance!
