Unfiltered Entrepreneur by Ashli Pollard - Business Tips for Digital Service Based Founders and Agencies [Below 14th Street] HOW I USED TO SNEAK INTO MY CORPORATE JOB....AND LEARNED BAD LEADERSHIP
I'm excited to share with you a new episode of Below 14th Street! In this episode, I'm sharing a story from my 10 years of experience in the fashion industry in New York City. It's a little different than some of my past stories because it's actually a lesson in leadership. I worked for a very well-known multi-million dollar company that had a cult-like, creepy vibe. They had some seriously antiquated expectations, including requiring women to wear two-and-a-half-inch heels, have curled or perfectly straight hair, and a full face of makeup. We were also expected to dress 'super trendy', and stay at work until 8 p.m. unless we were going to a workout class. The weirdest thing was that we had to sign in every morning with a specific colored pen and if you were even one minute late, you had to go into the CEO's office to sign your name. It was beyond strange and it was gross. Thankfully, I got out of there pretty quickly. So, join me on this episode and let's talk about the importance of giving your employees the space to operate and work the way THEY want to.
