Job Promotions: Favoritism vs. Good Performance with Stephanie Jenkins, SVP of Sales at Flowhub

Leaders are responsible for building a transparent system, ensuring a positive working environment, and fostering effective communication among colleagues. In a truly transparent system, decisions are not based on personal relationships and office gossip, but on results. Creating a good office culture should be the number one priority for any member of leadership.

Stephanie Jenkins is a Senior Vice President of Sales at Flowhub and a woman with a lot of experience in both leadership and office politics. Her background includes a wide range of roles in a series of big tech companies. When Stephanie changed her career path and switched roles from an individual contributor to a sales manager/director, she grew as a leader. And that’s what led Stephanie back to a smaller environment at Flowhub, the cannabis tech company. 

In this episode of Taking the Lead, host Christina Brady talks with Stephanie Jenkins about leadership, decision-making processes, professional development, favoritism vs. performance, and the impacts of office politics. Also, the two discuss how every person should have a growth plan to help them develop and get past a toxic company culture. This episode will show the importance of training for new leaders, and it will inspire you to look at your employees and their development from a different perspective.
