Welcome to Management Material. My name is Catherine Van Der Laan. I started my career at the bottom as an assistant and worked my way up to become the boss’s boss in 8 years. If there’s anything I’ve learned, it’s that what got you to where you are now won’t get you to where you want to be. This podcast is for top performers who want to be amazing managers. I’ve coached lots of talented people to get them from entry-level to recognized top performers to new managers to seasoned executives. I challenge deeply held beliefs and change how people see the world. Management is all about leadership. The best managers were developed leaders long before they had any direct reports. Here's one thing that most people won't tell you: Management is a skill. Management is a skill you can learn, just like the hard skills that got you to where you are now. Management Material is about developing you into the best manager you can be. Let’s turn YOU into management material.

Send us a text Welcome back to Management Material with Catherine Van Der Laan! In this episode, Catherine discusses the critical importance of leading with a clear and inspiring vision, especially in today's rocky and inconsistent world. She shares insights on how a well-defined vision can motivate your team, attract the right talent, and transform your organization's performance.  Learn how to articulate a vision that gives people purpose, fosters commitment, and drives success, even when facing challenges like a disengaged workforce or rapid technological changes such as AI. Catherine uses real-world examples, including an executive coaching client struggling with high employee turnover, to illustrate how a vague vision like "grow" can lead to disengagement and a lack of direction.  Discover how to identify your audience, define the specific change you aim to make, and filter that up into a guiding vision that serves as your North Star.
