First I see authentic leaders knowing who they are. They've gotten curious about their own story. Two, they've gotten meaningfully connected to others in a way that actually enables them to be transformed, to actually be changed by their colleagues and even those they lead. And then, three, they've gotten captivated by a larger story. They realize that their leadership isn't just for themselves. It's really tied into the service of others and a bigger purpose."

๐๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐๐จ๐ข๐ง๐จ๐ฏ๐ข๐๐ก asked: "I've seen investors (especially women) viewed as "weak" just for acknowledging their weaknesses (rather than emphasizing solely their strengths), particularly in board situations. Do you have suggestions on how to handle these situations, particularly when there are power/generational dynamics at play?"
Some of the advice given was to show your intelligence, write those blog posts, put stuff on LinkedIn, go to networking experiences, give speeches, do it, show it. And by doing and showing, you'll get the respect, you'll command the presence, you'll be authentic, and you'll really be able to show people that it doesn't matter what gender you are, it just matters who you are, and it matters about the importance of who you are.

๐๐๐ Be the Leader Without the Crystal Ball (S01E06)
Our host, ๐ฅ๐ผ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ ๐๐ถ๐ฒ๐น๐ฑ, along with esteemed guests ๐ฅ๐ถ๐๐ฎ ๐. ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด, ๐ฆ๐๐ฒ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ป๐ถ๐ฒ ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐ป๐, and ๐๐น๐ฒ๐
๐ ๐ฐ๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ป๐ฒ๐, share some in-depth revelations about managing change in the digital era. From the importance of internal wiring over generational demographics to embracing mistakes as growth opportunities, our panel covers an array of vital topics.
Here's what you can expect from this enlightening exchange:
โข Spotlights on understanding personalities and managing resistance within the team when driving organizational change.
โข Explorations of how instinct and rational logic can help leaders balance the overwhelming nature of change.
โข Reflections on the importance of listening to diverse perspectives, including minority voices, to drive successful transformations.
โข Practical advice and recommended resources for leaders facing change.
In one highlight, Stefanie Krievins advocates for a proactive approach to change management, driven by instinct as much as logic. On the other hand, Rita J. King articulates the challenge of managing the enormity of change and harmonizing humans with technology. And Alex McBratney underscores the importance of understanding your team's dynamics to manage resistance to change effectively.

And so change management in the digital era, to me, is about getting your people to change their habits, to get them to adopt your new technology that you invest heavily in so that the company can actually leverage it. And individuals are responsible for engaging themselves in the change versus company leaders.'"

But in the end, you have to be realistic about people and these thinking of these things as huge changes, then what ends up happening is, a lot of times, leaders miss their opportunity to be cross functional, like Alex was saying."
