This is a YouTube video titled "Unlock Management Success: Ask Your Team 'What's on Your Mind ' with Tara Landes" (created 2025-03-24). The excerpt is a short conversational exchange between Marc Haine (host) and another speaker (Tara Landes, per the title) about practical management advice. Marc asks for one simple, actionable thing business leaders can do today; the guest recommends leaders go ask an employee "What's on your mind?" and follow up with the AWE question ("And what else?") to surface concerns and improve management.

So, if we were to just shake this globe and pick one important, simple, actionable thing that every business leader can do starting today to improve their management effectiveness, what would it be?
I would tell them to go and find someone and ask them what's on their mind. If all they can do is one thing, go find someone that works for you. Ask them what's on their mind. And when they answer you, ask the AWE question. And what else? What's on your mind and what else? And we'll see what shakes out of that because that's part of managing is learning what other people are thinking and then riffing on that.
