009: Tanae Wolfman Leverages Collaboration

<p>I invite guests to share personal stories about acts of leadership that help shape their lives. In Episode Nine, Tanae Wolfman describes how she leads without authority, how she collaborates to build trust, and what she does to keep herself grounded in her guiding principles.</p> <p><strong>00:21 Prologue: Stewardship through Small Acts</strong></p> <p>I tend to think about stewardship as big acts. Tanae’s stories teach me to reconsider the practice of stewardship. The word means to take care of something, such as a group or property. I tend to think of it as the act of giving back to strengthen a profession. Tanae does this through multiple small acts at the individual level.</p> <p><strong>01:55 Part 1: Don’t Hesitate and Learning Outside Your Comfort Zone</strong></p> <p>Tanae explains how a Human Resource director’s advice to not hesitate encouraged her to act in unfamiliar ways. Doing so meant accepting a level of discomfort that enabled her to learn and develop professionally. To develop substantially, we need to step outside our comfort zones.</p> <p><strong>08:44 Part 2: Creating Opportunities for Others to Lead</strong></p> <p>Improving how people work together should be a shared responsibility. Tanae describes how she created opportunities for anyone to voice how teams and cross-functional groups evolve.</p> <p><strong>13:45 Part 3: How Will You Show Up Today?</strong></p> <p>At the beginning and end of the day, Tanae reveals the technique that enables her to reflect and revisit her guiding principles.</p> <p>_________________________________</p> <p><strong>How You Can Support the Show</strong></p> <p>Unlabeled Leadership is a free service for people to learn about leadership.
