The Manager’s Handbook Podcast
The Manager’s Handbook Podcast is hosted by Matt Sornson (CMO) and Alex MacCaw (CEO) of Clearbit. We believe great management makes the world a better place. At Clearbit, we’re writing a handbook to train our managers, and we’re sharing it online. Each episode of this podcast accompanies a chapter of the book, and we get on the mic to discuss it in-depth, covering topics from hiring to conflict resolution and developing consciousness as a leader.
