Once you’ve committed to a leadership role — formally and officially or simply in your mind and heart — getting everyone else at work to buy in requires relationship management. How do you successfully shift the role you’re playing on your team? What sorts of conversations help clear the way? Which steps shouldn’t you skip? Is this transformation harder to make over Zoom? In this episode of the Women at Work podcast, Amy Jen Su and Muriel Wilkins share an update on how their advice applies in the context of remote and hybrid work.

2022-01-31T11:43:16-05:00November 12, 2021|Amy Jen Su, Our News, Our News: Audio, Paravis Partners|

On this episode of the Greatness podcast, Amy Jen Su discusses “Leader A” and “Leader B”, a realistic discussion of the good and bad days we all have as leaders. When consulting with leaders, I have them describe the “great” leader they aspire to be, and articulate their intentional plan to  grow and develop in a way that allows them to consistently show up as their best selves. As Amy says, it is not about being “superhuman”. It’s about being present and “maintaining access to our best selves”.

You Don’t Just Need One Leadership Voice — You Need Many

2021-09-28T14:01:45-04:00January 10, 2018|Amy Jen Su, Our News, Paravis on HBR, Presence, Leadership, and Communications|

We often equate developing a leadership voice with finding ways to appear more confident. We assume that our success depends upon mimicking someone else, increasing our self-promotion, or saying things louder than others.

Ultimately, you should cultivate enough parts of your voice so that no matter the leadership situation or audience you find yourself facing, you can respond in an authentic, constructive, and effective way.     READ ARTICLE

Much has been written on a leader’s role in motivating, engaging, and bringing out the best in others. Yet research suggests there is still much more that could be done. Frequently cited is the 2014 Deloitte study that found that “up to 87% of America’s workforce is not able to contribute to their full potential because they don’t have passion for their work.”     READ ARTICLE

One of the most exciting and — sometimes anxiety-producing transitions in a career — comes when you move from being an individual contributor to becoming a manager.
