#125 Ann Rhoades - If they’re not listening, you shouldn’t be there

Brave Feminine Leadership

Ann Rhoades can pick a true servant leader from 40 paces. Ann has been part of teams who built award-winning cultures at both Southwest and JetBlue airlines. When she first met Herb Kelleher in a Board meeting, he kept insisting she not stand up… I love her reveal on why. Ann shares the importance of being a strong values-based leader, how critical understanding financials is, and the essential need to be a courageous HR leader who takes a stand on important issues and is a partner that others listen to. We discuss her view on the trend of senior professional females leaving the workplace, her advice to ask for what we need and stories of CEOs who are measured on how they get results, not just on the results. Don’t miss this conversation with a wonderful human being. Ann's brilliant quote, "never be afraid to say what we believe", is especially important in today's challenging times and she shares how she has lived that ethos.
