How Beyoncé Leads with Authenticity, Resilience, and Influence

In this episode of Lead with That, Ren and Allison discuss superstar Beyoncé and the leadership lessons that we can learn from the music, business, and philanthropic accomplishments she has made throughout her career. From her start in the ’90s as part of girl group Destiny’s Child to now, Beyoncé has worked to become a dominant force in the music industry and beyond. Not only has she achieved unparalleled success as an artist, but she has been hailed as an innovator, influential leader, and unwavering advocate for the rights of many marginalized groups – working to pave the way for those who come after her. Beyoncé is proof that authenticity, resilience, and influence are valued aspects of leadership. Listen in as Ren and Allison discuss what it would be like to work with Beyoncé as their manager.

This is the third episode in our special Lead With That series, “Manager Madness,” where we discuss public figures, real or fictional, who embody leadership through both their actions and ability to inspire others. Our listeners voted in a “Manager Madness” bracket on social media stories to rank which leaders they would want to work with the most. Over several months, Ren and Allison will be chatting about each of them one by one until we reveal the winner.
