E32 How to Convince The Leaders Above You to Support Your Change


Listen Later

What does it mean to really drive change? How do you effectively bring up problems with leadership? How do you say no when others want too much from you? What do you do when no one cares about the issues you bring up?

 

Get answers to these questions and MORE in today’s episode! In addition, you’ll hear our advice on being an active leader, rather than a passive leader that lets problems go unsolved. Plus, expect to learn how you should handle problems at every level, no matter your title.

 

Sometimes, values are so misaligned between employee and employer that there’s no chance of having a mutually beneficial work environment. That’s why we’re also sharing strategies you can use to feel heard when it seems like no one is listening, and how to know when it’s time to quit.

 

Tune in to hear conversation examples on getting support from your leaders, and how to be a supportive leader!

 

Topics discussed in this episode:

  • Being a leader at every level of your career
  • How we respond when we notice a problem
  • How we should respond
  • The responsibility of leaders to drive change
  • Setting priorities and getting support
  • How to have conversations with senior leaders
  • Can you make change at a bad company?
  • When you should skip your boss and go to their boss
  • How to know when it’s time to quit
