I Hired my Boss with Amy Wilson
Loading player...
Building a great work partnership can be life-changing.
'Very few people would be willing to step down and reverse roles with their boss.'
Tech executive, board member, investor, CEO advisor, mentor, and podcaster Amy Wilson describes how as an executive she hired her best friend Meg Bear and then swopped roles with her - and how this would be unlikely to happen in an alpha male driven set-up.
They now run the very popular podcast The Meg and Amy Show, where they dive deep into HR tech and AI.
In this episode, Amy reflects on her leadership journey, the dearth of female role models early in her career, how she chooses to lead, and being 'ruthlessly non-competitive.'
Amy advises emerging leaders to speak up, build alliances, and manage their visibility by demonstrating value - especially for those with introvert tendencies.
She gives an additional tip: absolutely do not do the emotional labour or emotional housework of teams (unless you love it!).
This is an engaging episode with a leader who has a unique perspective on disrupting the status quo.
