    Ep 47 - You Just Got Promoted, and Members of Your New Team Don't Want to Report to You

    In this episode, I attack the issue of microaggressions that female and minority senior executives face. In this case, a junior team member refused to report to a senior team member who was promoted to leader of the group. What would you do if you faced this type of rebellion? Listen to this episode and find out.
