In this episode, we’re tackling how to go about mastering the art of individualized management. How can leaders best harness the unique talents and powers of each individual to maximize engagement across their teams?

Joining me to break it all down is a master of individualized management herself, Sarah Dobbins, Market President and Chief Revenue Officer at Townsquare Media Portland and August, Maine.


Sarah has so many valuable insights to share, such as:

  • How understanding talents at an individual level can make it easy to be the perfect “matchmaker” for clients and account executives
  • Why talking about individual talents can really feel like a “love language”
  • And, finally, how consistently using Growth Guides makes it that much easier to put words into action.
