    Julie Blakey

    Julie Blakey has been an entrepreneur since age 19. After success with her own business in the wedding industry, she became a coach and speaker.  In this episode, Julie shares her perspective about the unique challenges of women in the workplace. We talk about how women can advocate for themselves and lean into their strengths. And we also discuss how men can support women in the workplace. Check out her website here: https://www.theblakeygroup.com One of the things that came up in our conversation was the concept of the “Narrow band of acceptable behavior” and I wanted to elaborate just a bit more. This concept was introduced by A. M. Morrison et al. in Breaking the Glass Ceiling. It essentially refers to the possibility of a bias between what we consider as traditionally accepted masculine/feminine behavior, and what we observe in leadership; however, this concept is not limited to women in leadership. When we see anyone in a leadership role and they do not fit into what we believe is the stereotypical/prototypical leader role, we naturally give them less wiggle room to make mistakes. For example, when it comes to leadership, we often think of leaders as strong and decisive. If an individual believes that men are more strong and decisive, yet they see a woman leader acting this way, she will already be walking a tightrope when it comes to interacting with that particular individual.

    Thursday Short - Conflict & Concern

    The past two weeks, we covered the first two C's of my conflict resolution model, which were communication and curiosity. Today, we'll cover the third C - Concern. M. Afzalur Rahim theorized in 1983 that conflict management styles existed in a spectrum, and on one axis is a concern for self, while on the other is a concern for others. Here are the five conflict management styles Rahim proposed, along with their levels of concern: Avoiding: Low concern for self; low concern for others Obliging: Low concern for self; high concern for others Dominating: High concern for self; low concern for others Compromising: Moderate concern for self; moderate concern for others Integrating: High concern for self; high concern for others If our goal is integrating, then we must have a high level of concern for ourselves and others. Here's our tips: 1 - Determine how important it is to come to a win-win conclusion 2 - Think about the long-term relational impact 3 - Think about the long-term organizational impact Our goal is to connect you to leaders and leadership principles from all sectors.
