I brought to that job that made me successful. And that leader did not trust their leadership and was very insecure in their leadership. And the difference there for me is that now I had a position of power, so it didn't have the same personal impact on me as it did when I was more subordinate, because I didn't feel that pressure of needing to show up for that person, as though they held my job in their hands, which, unfortunately, when you're in a situation of working for destructive leaders, many followers, because of that power dynamic, don't have a choice.
Ever wondered how someone can turn their recovery journey into a thriving corporate career? Meet Karen Perham-Lippman, a dynamic executive and mission-driven business strategist, who joins Maureen Ross Gemme in this episode of 'Emerge. Evolve. Lead.' Karen’s story is a testament to the power of resilience and determination.
She’s been clean and sober since August 31, 2005, and has transformed her life step by step, moving from a single parent and community volunteer to a senior leader in the corporate world. Throughout the episode, Karen shares candid insights about her first struggles with addiction and the pivotal moments that pushed her to change. She opens up about how marriage and motherhood were catalysts for facing her fears and leaving behind what was holding her back.
Karen also delves into her experiences with both supportive and destructive leaders, offering practical advice on how to navigate these dynamics. One memorable quote from Karen captures the essence of working under challenging leadership: 'When you're in a situation of working for destructive leaders, many followers, because of that power dynamic, don't have a choice'. Her journey is not just about personal growth but also about using the skills developed in recovery to lead with empathy and integrity.
Whether you’re in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode is packed with wisdom on balancing personal and professional growth. Tune in to hear Karen’s inspiring story and learn how recovery can be a stepping stone to leadership.
