Episode Description

You probably have a ‘boss story’–good, bad, ugly. But how we see and talk about a boss–and the nature of being a boss–change when the boss is a woman. Game-Changing Women Radio executive producer and SAP CLO Jenny Dearborn notes, “Trying to navigate organizations from a position of authority can bring out the best and worst in a woman. Until we understand why, power equity will elude us.” Tune in for boss stories, the push for women in high positions to be "beyond perfect," and how to ensure stories about YOU are good. The experts speak. Caroline Turner, DifferenceWORKS: “There is a special place in hell for women who don’t help other women” (Madeleine Albright). Mary Kosita, The Timken Company: “The reward of a thing well done is having done it" (Ralph Waldo Emerson). Jane Miller, Janeknows.com: “It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you’ll do things differently.” (Warren Buffett) Join us for Best Boss, Worst Boss, Woman Boss.
