In this episode, Jordan and Jennifer discuss:
-
The personas that emerge during mergers and acquisitions
-
The Dominatrix and Black Widow personas
-
What does not get discussed in mergers and acquisitions
-
Why you should be truthful to your team about threats
Key Takeaways -
If you are not truthful with your team, they will see through you and lose their trust. Don’t say lies to calm and placate people in an uncertain environment.
-
Leaders need to be warriors during times of significant change
-
Not every abrasive person in the workplace is a sociopath or a bully. Many are that way because of their cultural background and their self-esteem being tied to their ability to achieve great things.
-
Black widow personas often act like your friend while slowly positioning themselves to take your role or ascend past you. Watch out for their signals and red flags so that you won’t be blindsided.
-
Leaders need to be familiar with the emotions and personas that emerge so they are able to calm the underlying fear and increase empathy and collaboration
“Let go of your title. What you need to focus on is showing your skill set and your expertise. And that is how quickly you learn about industries: distill that information into actionable, executable tasks.” — Jennifer Fondrevay
