M4D2: Implementing Effective Leadership Part 2

You have now identified the leadership style with which you most relate, the associated character traits you possess, and those you wish to develop. You have also read the first half of Lean In. In this discussion, you will move from theory to application by discussing how to employ your leadership style in the public sector.

You are part of the leadership team of a public organization. Keeping in mind the leadership theory and character traits you identified for yourself in M4D1 and the material from Chapter 3 of Lean In, choose one of the following scenarios for this discussion. Consider how you would address the situation if one of your female subordinates expressed to you:

1. Her fear of things backfiring if she tries to negotiate a higher salary or ask for a promotion by highlighting her recent successes for the organization.
2. Her reluctance to “toot her own horn” to the leadership team about a recent prestigious award she received from her alma mater.
3. Her desire to refuse an assignment to mentor a new manager after her boss said he thought she would love to be a mentor “because you’re a nurturer, you know, since you’re a woman.”

Respond to the following:

• Describe what you would do both at the organizational level and one-on-one in working with your female subordinate regarding this issue.
• Explain how the action you described aligns with or does not align with your leadership style and character traits.
