Perspectives On Bad Leadership, Employee Empowerment, & Leadership Effectiveness

Who are the leaders in your life? What is it about them that you admire? Why do they stand out as leaders? In this episode, Apolonia Rockwell and producer Seth Silvers do a deep dive into management leadership. Topics discussed in this episode: * What it’s like for Apolonia being a female leader in a field—safety in construction, manufacturing, oil, and gas—that is predominantly led by men. * With the Covid-19 pandemic subsiding, some companies—but clearly not all—are investing in leadership training. * The importance of leaders acknowledging the emotional difficulties that everyone has gone through with the Covid-19 pandemic. * Asking yourself the question, “How am I going to be a better leader?” * Characteristics of bad leadership, which include: not taking accountability, not having empathy, and not having the courage to make a bold decision. * How Apolonia—like many CEOs—still occasionally struggles with receiving critical feedback. Apolonia Rockwell is the Founder and CEO of True Safety Services and True Safety University.
