Global executive and board director Shannon Nutter shines a light on the disturbing trend of "quiet takedowns," the silent extraction of leaders (especially women leaders) from organizations. Often done subtly and quietly, this behavior is costing us tremendous talent and potential. Embracing leadership vulnerability creates a culture where leaders grow and thrive instead of disappearing. Shannon's early-in-career belief that leaders need to always have all the answers and lead with a "command and control" style has been replaced by something more powerful. "When I build teams, I focus on prioritizing a sense of psychological safety and trust. I build teams who actively debate each other and aren't afraid to tell me when I am wrong." Staying focused and authentic is key. "Don't be anyone else's version of a leader. And never, ever shrink yourself to make someone else comfortable." This episode has been sponsored by Meter.
