Previously on 97% Effective, Professor Margaret Ann Neale from Stanford discussed the core ideas from her must-have book on negotiation, Getting (More of) What You Want. But in the example we used, one of Michaelâs clients who was negotiating a promotion, we left out one very important fact: The client was a woman. In this continuation episode, Maggie clarifies how gender influences negotiation and how women can negotiate more effectively. We discuss techniques for approaching negotiation as a woman, the influence of intersectionality within the workplace and optimizing team performance.

Do you subscribe to feel good stories that great leaders inspire and eat last? In this episode of 97% Effective, Executive Coach Michael Wenderoth challenges your views with three hard truths about effective leadership that are often overlooked. Michael highlights insights from distinguished guestsâ Chief Pilot Tenille Cromwell, Professor Don Moore of UC Berkeley, and Professor Jeffrey Pfeffer of Stanford. Tenille takes us into the cockpoint during a thunderstorm to emphasize the necessity for âabsolute decision makingâ in critical situations. Don wants to expand leadership beyond inspirational speeches to include the less sexy work of designing systems that lead to better outcomes. And Jeffrey underscores the importance of maintaining one's position of power to effect change. Leadership is rougher and tougher than TED Talks make it out to be: Tune in for a candid conversation on what it truly takes to succeed and lead in your career.
Hard truth #1: Itâs not all about collaboration (lessons from Tenille Cromwell, Chief Pilot & former Navy Mission Commander)Descending into Bozeman when you canât see the runway: âItâs not all âkumbayaâ: Thereâs a time and place for absolute decision makingâThe #1 mistake is not leaders abusing power, but their failure to use it.Ask yourself: How might I be avoiding making hard decisions?Hard truth #2: Think beyond hearts and minds (insight from Professor Don Moore, Haas School of Business School, and author of Decision Leadership)Thinking beyond inspirational speechesLeadership is about influencing the behavior of others toward a desired outcomeAsk yourself: How might I build systems to make it easy for people to choose wisely?Hard truth #3: âKeep your damn jobâ (Professor Jeffrey Pfeffer at Stanford, and author of 7 Rules of Power, on a leaderâs first responsibility)If you lose your position or job, your ability to get stuff done will go way downAsk yourself: Am I paying sufficient attention to who and what keeps in my role?Summary and final thoughtsBIO AND LINKS:
