Ep 20: Redefining Bossy while leading an UNSTOPPABLE TEAM with Lia Garvin

Welcome to a brand new episode of the You Can Call Me “Bossy" podcast.

In this episode, I got to sit down with my friend Lia Garvin who is the author of the best selling book "The Unstoppable Team."

In this conversation, we talked about the cross roads of "OWNING YOUR BOSSY" while also managing relationships in the workplace as a leader of a team —from former friends, family members, to colleagues in a managerial role.

Lia opens up about her journey through the top tiers of the corporate world in giants like Bank of America and Google, and her transition to empowering small and large companies to form dynamic and inclusive teams.

This episode is for anyone who has struggled with setting boundaries, has felt misunderstood, or has been labeled with stereotypes at work. We delve into practical tips for maintaining authenticity and kindness when giving feedback, and more critically, recognizing when to move on from relationships and ventures that are simply not the right fit.

Key Takeaways:

• The necessity of clear communication and setting expectations.
• Understanding the impact of generational programming on recognizing mismatches.
• The importance of feedback and expectations in team interactions.
