Rhonda Okurowski, a leader with over 20 years of experience, recounts a challenging period in her leadership when she started at her first Fortune 500 organization.
Upon starting her new role, Rhonda began meeting with each one of her 14 team members one on one. When her team raised concerns about inadequate compensation despite increased responsibilities, Rhonda brought these issues to her director, realizing the limitations of middle management in addressing pay-related matters.
Her director recommended Rhonda look into it and present him the findings. That’s where the miscommunication began. Listen in to hear what happened when Rhonda followed through on her director’s advice. Spoiler alert – it didn’t end well!
In this episode, you’ll hear Rhonda’s candid story of navigating middle management in her first Fortune 500 company, what actions she regrets and what she doesn’t, along with her advice for fellow managers.
