Ep.136: Bringing Back the Humanity In Leadership, with Mandee Bowsmith | The Leadership Podcast f...

What is your perception of HR? What role does this business function play in your work life, and your career? My guest this week is Mandee Bowsmith, a seasoned veteran of two decades in human resources in municipal government, having specialized in labor relations, employee benefits, and risk management. Mandee has some fascinating insights into the world of Governmental HR. Today's topics include why HR doesn't have to be the bad cop all the time, what micro-coaching looks like and how it works, why conflict isn't automatically something to be avoided, the vital role of honest, clear communication, and the art of conversation; as well as many more learnings about leadership and the role of HR from Mandee's career so far.
We can really sum up Mandee's approach and the tone of today's conversation with the phrase: "humanity in leadership." It's a highly relevant cross-over to a core value of Leading with integrity - people-first leadership. And, fair warning, we do get a bit political at the end of this episode too (but it's worth a listen anyway!).
