Hosts

The podcast hosts, Mark Horstman and Mike Auzenne, are both graduates of West Point, the United States Military Academy, where they first met. [5]

Horstman was a manager and executive in sales and marketing at Procter & Gamble. He has coached and trained managers and executives since 1988. [1]

History

Horstman and Auzenne learned about podcasting in 2005 and decided that this could be a way to disseminate their knowledge about effective management. [5] The co-founders have stated that they believe they can change the world by changing management, and that the way to change it is one manager at a time. [7] After starting with the weekly free podcasts, both hosts became co-founders of Manager Tools LLC, a management consulting firm. [1] They regularly consult to and train managers in Fortune 1000 companies around the world. [8]

The first Manager Tools podcast was published on June 26, 2005, [7] with the first Career Tools podcast published on December 4, 2008. [9] The first live podcast was recorded with an audience after a conference and was published on October 31, 2010. [7] The 500th episode was published on January 1, 2012. [10]

The podcasts use no advertisement and most incoming links on the internet are from comments by users. [11] [12] [13] [14] The hosts have done talks in schools such as Robert R. McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science [15] and Kellogg School of Management. [16]

Podcasts

Most casts are about 30–40 minutes long, presented as a dialogue between the two hosts. [17] They cover a specific topic related to management or career development. Casts start with an overview of the points to be discussed, followed by the discussion point by point, and end with a summary of the points discussed.

Manager Tools main podcasts are available on the webpage and also through iTunes and RSS feeds. [18] The podcasts often refer to each other which in the past has created issues with new listeners.

[19] Those cover mostly 'The Management Trinity' as well as additional basic notions.
