Wisdom from Joe

In Episode 57 of the Best Boss Ever podcast, Christine chats with Brent Currie, SVP & Managing Director, Investment Distribution & Partnerships at Scotiabank. Brent speaks to his experience working with Joe Brandt who, 15 years later, continues to have an impact on his team. Brent and Christine talk about the “The 10 Rules of Managing People” that Joe created over the course of his career. They dive into the importance of expecting the unexpected, reading between the lines when communicating with team members, and how feedback that covers “the stuff around the edges” builds trust. They also talk about another great boss Brent worked with through the tumultuous times of the COVID-19 pandemic, who exemplified the importance of leading with authenticity and living by your values.
