Episode notes

If you say to your manager, mentor sponsor, i want to be seen as a leader, that could mean a zilion different thing. You can also ask in a specific way, write, seat counsel and say, Manager, i really want to work on my ability to be seenas a leader. And oftentimes you see somebody who's still trying to make that turn because they're still walking in with the over package document or the over package presentation.

Once you’ve committed to a leadership role — formally and officially or simply in your mind and heart — getting everyone else at work to buy in requires relationship management. How do you successfully shift the role you’re playing on your team? What sorts of conversations help clear the way? Which steps shouldn’t you skip? Is this transformation harder to make over Zoom?

To address these questions, we revisit a 2019 interview with two leadership development experts — essential listening for any woman who’s ready to step up — and share an update on how their advice applies in the context of remote and hybrid work.

Guest experts:

Amy Jen Su and Muriel Maignan Wilkins are the founders of the executive coaching and leadership development firm Paravis Partners. They co-wrote the book Own the Room, and Amy is the author of The Leader You Want to Be. Muriel hosts the HBR Presents podcast Coaching Real Leaders.
