Woman of the Week ~ Special Series

This is a historic time in our lives both professionally and personally.  At Executive Elements, we like to share, support and encourage other women.

We asked: “What is the leadership lesson that you are taking away from this moment in time?”

Dawn Brahma ~ Lots of lessons of course, including the importance of communication and finding ways to connect, very intentionally, with colleagues individually and as a team in new/unique, but meaningful ways. If there was one takeaway to share though, I’d say it’s to leverage the opportunity for development. A crisis often results in new and challenging situations that call for creative problem solving and/or leadership. Take on the challenge yourself and engage different team members to tackle an issue, take on a new project, or lead a group of people around the effort. Colleagues welcome the chance to be part of the solution and will step up, stretch themselves and develop new skills along the way.
