# Boss Class from The Economist

A podcast by The Economist. The best bosses create systems for solving problems old and new—from navigating working-from-home demands to hiring the right people, from running good meetings to managing themselves. Andrew Palmer, author of the Bartleby column, looks for advice on how to be a better boss by talking to people who have actually done the job. Listen to The Economist's guide for managers. Season 3 is all about the challenges of AI in the workplace. It's out Thursday 29th January.
