The United Way of Scandal and Silence--The Lisa Bowman Story

Gas Glue Guardrails. The Culture, Leadership and Careers Show with Pete Havel

Lisa Bowman served as a top executive for the United Way, a nonprofit known for caring for others. A hotbed of harassment, Bowman endured abusive sexual harassment from a colleague for a while, but eventually spoke up. And when she did, she saw her department budget slashed, colleagues around her targeted, and was eventually fired by a CEO who later walked away with millions in donor donations.
She went to the United Way's Board of Directors, a group filled with representatives of organizations with strong anti-harassment policies and....you'll hear the rest of her story in this compelling episode.
Lisa is the author of "Harasshole: A Cautionary Tale of My Time at America's Favorite Charity", a book that's available at harasshole.com,
A foreword from Lisa's book:
​"What makes this story different is that we hear, and are used to hearing, about these issues every day in every sector, entertainment, sports, the government and corporate America. We haven’t heard it much in the Non-Profit sector, and surely, it happens. What rings sad here is that these are the very people who are tasked with doing good for our larger society."
