Why Middle Management Is The Key To Company Success, The Hidden Costs Of Bad Leadership, And Strategies For Real Improvement.
On this episode of the Social Chameleon Show, we welcome Jennifer Jensen, a leadership transformation expert with more than 25 years of corporate experience. Jennifer is known for cutting through the noise about leadership and calling out what most people try to ignore: the shortage of truly exceptional leaders in today’s workplaces.
She’s the author of “Developing Authentic Leaders,” a book packed with 52 real-world topics designed to push leaders to grow. Her approach centers on authenticity, practical skills, and the fundamentals that often get overlooked, like building a strong mission, vision, and team values.
Jennifer shares honest stories about her own growth, the challenges middle managers face, and why vulnerability and boundaries are so essential to leading well. She also brings in concrete assessment tools and team exercises that make a difference, instead of staying at the buzzword level.
If you’re tired of stale leadership advice and want a fresh, actionable perspective for building better teams—and better workplaces—this is an episode you won’t want to miss. Get ready for practical tools, authentic stories, and the kind of coaching that inspires real change.
Enjoy the episode!
