Managers just move people and dollars around.

Leaders make people greater by helping them thrive and be the best, most productive version of themselves.

Managers collect credit for success and carefully dodge blame.

Leaders don’t worry about who gets success, as long as there IS success. And they own and get their hands dirty on fixing what’s broken.

Always nice to work for a leader.

I can tell you that Greg Martin is the single best reason I’ve been able to stay with KTSA for two-thirds of my whole radio lifetime, and at every turn, in every change of schedule or ownership, in every personal crisis, he was steady, reassuring and compassionate. He didn’t read a book about those qualities, or jot them down in a seminar. They’re who he is.

So, congratulations to the Texas Radio Hall of Fame team. You honor yourselves by honoring him.
