🧠 Lecture: "The Impossible Job: Management in the Modern Workplace"

🎤 Speaker: Dr. Jake Tuber

Why does being a manager today feel like an impossible job? Because in many ways, it is. Managers are now expected to be boss, therapist, coach, friend, mediator, and motivational speaker all at once.

In this engaging talk, Dr. Jake Tuber unpacks the forces making modern management feel increasingly unsustainable—from shifting employee expectations to the collapse of traditional ideas about authority, motivation, and performance. Drawing on psychology, leadership research, and his own advisory work with organizations, he introduces a proprietary framework to help managers navigate competing demands and lead more effectively.

Dr. Jake Tuber is an organizational psychologist and top-rated adjunct professor of industrial-organizational psychology at City College. As Managing Principal of Ticonderoga Advisory, he works with leaders and organizations as an executive coach, talent advisor, and workshop facilitator. He was named one of the “40 Under 40 in Leadership” by the Leadership Center for Excellence. His upcoming book, "The Deliberate Manager: The eight postures that make management conversations work (and how to choose the right one every time)," is available for pre-order.
