Women in Leadership: Advice for Young Leaders, Episode 23 | Stephanie Atiase

How do you rise as a leader when you are often the only woman, or the only Black woman, in the room? And how do young leaders grow without rushing past the job they have now? Stephanie Atiase, who leads the Holiday Inn Express brand globally at IHG, shares what she has learned about women in leadership, team culture and building a career on your own terms.

In this conversation: - The three things that make a strong team culture: authenticity, collaboration and real alignment on goals - The three qualities Stephanie looks for in a leader: genuinely caring about your team, being effective in your role, and appreciating the people who make your success possible - Why female leaders thrive when they can be themselves, and why diverse leaders at the table prevent costly mistakes - Practical advice for young leaders: enjoy the phase you are in, speak plainly to your accomplishments because it is not bragging if it is facts, and do not be afraid to try something new
