from The Inspired Healthcare Leader | Healthcare Leadership, Work-Life Balance, Managing Change · host Mara Ergas-Zabari RN, PhD - Healthcare Leader, Consultant, & Researcher

When someone questions your credibility in front of everyone, what you do next matters. Being thrown under the bus at work can trigger an almost irresistible urge to set the record straight. But these moments can also become an opportunity to show people exactly who you are as a leader. In this episode, you’ll learn how to protect your credibility without looking defensive, how to decide when to speak up and when to let it go, what to say when you do need to correct the record, and how to avoid getting pulled into a battle over who’s right. Because being undermined doesn’t have to diminish your leadership. Handled well, it can become one of those moments when your leadership rises to the occasion.
