How Do You Lead When Everything Has Changed? A Candid Conversation with Josh Levine

/

In his Candid Conversation with guest host, MaryEllen Stockton, Josh Levine, company culture expert and author, spoke about the conversations that are happening around the nation during a racial awakening and how to create allyship for colleagues and employees.

"We have to lead, even if we're not leaders. This is the moment that we all need to become a leader. Don't wait for permission," Josh said, quoting a faith leader he had a conversation with. "I heard a piece this morning about systemic change. And, you know, we don't have to wait for a conviction. It's what are we going to do today? I love the sense of responsibility that provides us. The next step, what does that mean? How is real change going to happen? I think you know you're making the right decision or taking the right step if you're uncomfortable." 

Additionally, Josh and MaryEllen spoke about how: 

  • Personal and professional values are intersecting now more than ever and an organization must recognize that connection

  • The landscape of working remotely—both through a pandemic and a social uprising—has changed everything about the workplace

  • Good leadership means making more time to check in on employees' wellbeing
