Brief summary:
In this episode, we hear from Dr. Amy Grubb, the Digital Transformation Advisor to the CIO at the FBI. You’ll hear from Amy how much of what would be deemed successes in her career were either serendipity or part of a derailment that she had to overcome.
Key insights in this episode:
- AG: (at 3:56) What I realized is we can get all the talent in the world, and some of the best talent in the world --and we do, but that’s not going to make them work together better. That’s not going to make them understand each other better, and that’s not going to make them better leaders in the future.
- AG: (at 6:37) Everybody who comes to work has a story. They’re there for a reason, right? They have a journey that took them to where they are now. Even if that person is horrible to work with, even if that person is grumpy or mean or whatever, they have a dignity that should be respected.
- AG: (at 17:22) Amy talks about how long it really took her to come back from ‘falling off the pedestal’ at work.
- AG: (at 19:08) I don’t want to be the person who screamed and cried. I don’t want to be that person. Look, I don’t want to be pushed around, but I don’t want my reaction to be the story. I want my work to be the story.
- (at 29:08) Amy shares the 3 people that she’d love to have a sit-down conversation with and why.
