The hosts introduce a segment where they answer listener questions and provide advice, sharing how they use these questions for episode ideas and personalized guidance. They highlight the value of learning from the process and the wealth of knowledge available in the hbr.org archive and their interactions with experts.
What if one of your first assignments at a new job was to fire people? What should you do if the person leading a project you’re on isn’t giving clear direction, demands that you work nights and weekends, bristles at your feedback—and leadership tells you to fall in line? These are two of the five situations that Amy B and Amy G talk through in this episode. They offer advice to the women who wrote in with their questions, with the hope that it will help them and anyone who’s been in a similar situation, or might be one unfortunate day.
