“Empowerment is the belief that I have an appropriate influence over decisions that impact my work and things I care about.” - Michael Papanek
Since 1994, Michael has seen first hand - in the technology industry and as coach - the many dramatic changes leaders have faced and overcome. What we expect from a leader has truly changed and resilient relationships matter more than ever. Of course, this was the talk that launched us into our conversation on this podcast. Listen to learn why relationships are so key and how you can build the relationships you need to achieve your goals..
We get a lesson on the definition of a resilient business relationship which should be across three dimensions: Strong, Flexible, and Fair. There is also a difference between just one person being resilient and a group in an organization being socially resilient. It can be easy to care for ourselves, but coming together as a team is key to overcome adversity and drive innovation.
Then, we dig into the heat curve which requires proper management in building relationships so they can truly ‘handle the heat’ by shifting into breakthrough over breakdown. You could also say make those mean meetings turn into nice meetings. He will share how he sees effective leadership bend that heat curve according to any situation.
Leave the episode with his biggest tip of all on how to assess where you stand and how women in tech can prevail as resilient leaders and remove the bubble wrap by being clear and strong. Michael does a great job throughout the episode providing usable knowledge and we were grateful to have him on.
