Ra, to me, that is the new hall mark of good leadership. And it does feel that we're shifting what we think of as good leadership. There's this most recent report from mackenzie and lenon dot org,. The women in the work plase report that they just published. They do talk about how women are setting a new standard for what leadership is.
In leading their teams and organizations through a crisis, women have repeatedly stepped up to the plate. How have they done it? By flexing the leadership capabilities that set them apart, such as taking initiative and communicating powerfully.
We asked our listeners to tell us about bosses whose management approach they admire and whose values and skills have had a positive impact on them personally. Here we’re celebrating and learning from four of these women: the managing partner at a law firm, the chief technology officer at a community college, the head of HR at an employee recognition company, and the CEO of a bank. Then, leadership coach Muriel Wilkins shares advice on how to take care of yourself while taking care of the people you manage.
