Women Lead Webinar Series

You never dreamed being the boss would be so hard. You’re caught in a web of conflicting expectations from subordinates, your supervisor, peers, and customers. You’re constantly fighting fires. You’re mired in office politics. You end each day exhausted and discouraged, wondering what, if anything, you’ve accomplished.

You’re not alone. Harvard Professor Linda Hill will share key strategies from her book, Being the Boss: The Three Imperatives of Becoming a Great Leader, including:

• Manage yourself: Learn that management isn’t about getting things done yourself, it’s about accomplishing things through others
• Manage a network: Understand how power and influence work in your organization and build a network of mutually beneficial relationships to navigate your company’s complex political environment
• Manage a team: Forge a high-performing “we” out of all the “I”s who report to you
