As a leader, you may not feel like getting out of bed and heading to another board meeting. You may dread the endless number of reports and data that you have to review before your third meeting of the day. The thought of getting on yet another airplane with unexpected traveling delays, sleepless nights, all to do it again the next day, can make anyone rethink their why.

But, if you are the CEO of a non-profit organization whose mission rely's on your leadership to save lives, then you do all of those things without pause, without hesitation and with a great big smile on your face. 

In my recent interview with Kathleen on Like a REAL Boss, we talk about pain, passion, and the pursuit to better leadership.

There is no shortage of nuggets that you will get from this interview. I GUARANTEE IT!

 

Yes, your read correctly. My goal is to provoke a response, stir your insides, and create an awareness. So, WAKE UP!

Why is racism so persistent? What are signs or behaviors that you boss is racially biased? Prejudice? How does this negatively impact the workplace? What's the difference between curiosity and pre-judgement? We cover this and more in this uninhibited conversation.

Why do women in leadership matter?

We are continuing the conversation with the CEO of Havenwood Worldwide, LLC.

To give her perspective and experiences, I recently chatted with, Heather Ann Havenwood, CEO of Havenwood Worldwide, LLC and Best Selling Author of Sexy Boss. In this candid talk, Heather openly shares her BIGGEST mistake as a boss and talks about what she thinks is a barrier for women leaders coming up behind her.

Heather Ann Havenwood, CEO of Havenwood Worldwide, LLC and Chief Sexy Boss, is a serial entrepreneur and is regarded as a top authority on internet marketing, business strategies and  marketing. Since marketing her first online business in 1999, bringing together clients and personal coaches, she has played an active role in the online marketing world since before most even had a home computer. Heather has been named Top 50 Must Follow Women Entrepreneurs for 2017 by the Huffington Post. 

Women make up almost half the US workforce, yet they are promoted to leadership positions at a rate far lower than are their male colleagues. What accounts for this leadership gap? How can organizations foster and develop women leaders? Studies show that having women in leadership positions brings many benefits to an organization, including greater accountability and a culture of work-life balance. Yet it can be difficult to determine the barriers to women’s advancement, and even more difficult to surmount them. Learning how to foster and develop women as leaders not only benefits individual employees but can benefit your entire organization.

In this episode, you will find out why it is important to cultivate women leaders in your organization.

Five years ago, I remember walking into a business meeting, well-dressed and prepared. I arrived early to mingle and get acquainted with other attendees. The room was a standard size conference room with a long oval shaped table and comfy desk chairs all around. Upon entering the room, I immediately noticed a sea of conservative white males around the table and thought to myself, “Should I even be here?” This was my first and last meeting.

As a woman, especially a black woman, it felt like I had two strikes against me. The looks, stares, and side-bar commentary made it clear that both businessmen and women took issue with my presence in the room. Do “leader” and “woman” mix well together? Some might say it’s an acquired taste, figuratively speaking. Not for everyone. But the reality is, it’s pretty much in your face and on your plate whether it's your preference or not. Why was this experience so memorable and disconcerting at the same time? It sums up what it's like for women who dare to become leaders.

Listen as I share my perspective to 5 important questions. These are the same five questions that were asked to some of the most influential, women business leaders of today were asked in an article posted by TIMES.

What do you do when you are the new boss on the block? Do you start making changes? Do you do nothing and hope it all turn out alright? Do you stop and think, "How do I earn their trust." 

 

Trust is the foundation that cements an employee-manager relationship. It is the building block that precedes effective communication, accountability, and execution. And without it, you won't get very far as a leader.

Ever wonder if you're a great boss? Well, if you have to wonder then you're probably missing the mark. But, I guarantee you're not alone. Modern-day bosses lack the know-how, experience, and training to be a boss let alone a GREAT boss. 

A Gallup poll stated that every year disengaged employees cost the US economy 370 billion dollars. And the primary driver of that loss productivity is poor management. A lack of training is reflected in another report which found that less than 1/3 of all managers were perceived to be strong leaders.

In this episode, we talk with Erica Bernal-Martinez, a Deputy Executive Director with the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO) Educational Fund. Erica serves as the internal leader of this national non-profit organization. With over 15 years of leadership and management experience, Erica has led diverse programs, strategies, and teams that have helped organizations achieve their mission.

Get out your notebook and get ready to take notes to assess your boss status!

What does it mean to be a boss without being bossy? Well, you may have your own definition but experience tells me that many bosses have no idea of the answer. And, that in itself is a travesty.

If you are among the "many" don't feel bad. I'm not judging just stating a fact. It took me years to learn how to "manage" without an iron fist. But, I did turn that iron fist into wide open arms. It's a delicate balance, especially for first-time managers. Even the skilled and seasoned bosses have to check their styles often and flex when necessary. 

In this episode, we hear from Gary Skraba, an experienced Financial and Marketing Executive with a track record of success. Gary received his BA in Economics from Occidental College and his MBA in Marketing at the University of Pennsylvania, The Wharton School. 

Listen as Gary's describes different types of "bad" bosses and how to spot a good boss. You will know if you are too bossy or too lenient by the end. This is a call to action for all managers, leaders, and emerging leaders to be better bosses!
