Lead With That What Cancel Culture Can Teach Us About Impact and Accountability
Pepe Le Pew, Elmer Fudd, Yosemite Sam, even Minnie Mouse-- all impacted by cancel culture. Dave Chappelle, Joe Rogan, Gina Carano, J.K. Rowling – whether an animation character or just simply an animated character, no one’s safe. But is it cancel or consequence? And really, how does it impact you, working with and on teams and leading people through change?
In this episode Allison and Ren explore cancel culture from a leader’s point of view. What are the implications for leading teams and managing conflict, risk taking, and the perceived threat of making a mistake in this new era of communication? As more voices get involved in the conversation, there are going to be that many more colliding perspectives. A good leader considers others' perspectives and makes space for people to make mistakes without fear. So, we’re curious and want to explore how leaders can make room for people to learn from their mistakes while also honoring the sentiments of those around them. How can we as leaders balance the benefits and consequences of cancel culture and lead with that?
