Debra Corey on The Inspire Greatness Podcast

In this episode of Inspire Greatness, I interviewed Debra Corey, Chief Pay It Forward Officer at DebCo HR. Debra is a highly experienced and award-winning consultant, world-class speaker, HR leader, and six-time author who has been named one of the top 101 global employee engagement influencers. She’s had a varied career, working for global companies such as Gap Inc., Quintiles, Merlin Entertainments, and Reward Gateway, where she developed and delivered HR strategies in a rebellious way, pushing the boundaries and challenging the status quo to truly drive employee engagement.Debra’s recent book Bad Bosses Ruin Lives: The Building Blocks for Being a Great Boss is a practical guidebook that helps aspiring great bosses recognize and overcome their bad-boss tendencies through actionable tips, tools, and models, ultimately leading to better management and enriched lives.During our discussion, Debra explained her three proven methods for inspiring greatness in team members:Awareness - Becoming aware of the blind spots and traps we fall into that unintentionally cause us to take on bad boss traits.Acceptance - Looking in the mirror and accepting our own individual bad boss traits so that we can take ownership of them.Action - Taking the right actions and leveraging the right knowledge, skills, and tools to become great and overcome our bad boss traits. If you want to read the show notes for this episode, you can find them on my website:https://matttenney.com/Debra-Corey-on-the-inspire-greatness-podcast/If you enjoyed this interview and would like to hear more compelling conversations like this, be sure to subscribe to the podcast. Also, if you’d like to help others benefit from this podcast, please take a minute to leave a review.
