Heakolakovit op date and inspirational messages put my heart to rest. I wanted to reassure those who had been ill that they had our support. It was only doring the pandemic that i realized that i could still be empty of a bank or a seeou without wearing a suit. But, you know, i actually realize that for myself as an individual, my ability to absorb pressure and deliver clarity, even in a chaotic situation, was very useful.

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.
