Lead to Soar! is a production of A Career that Soars

In this episode, Mel and Michelle discuss why politics at work need to be rebadged and rethought by women who want a career that soars. Politics, when viewed through the lens of our 3-part leadership definition, is engaging the greatness in others and aligning them towards to strategic and financial goals of the organization.  Furthermore, women are rated by bosses as having superior EQ and engagement skills. We discuss how leveraging those skills, strategically and authentically is part of the successful woman's career toolkit.
