Welcome to Her Ambitious Career, the personal branding and success podcast for corporate women.<\/b><\/p>\n

In Episode 4, \u201cDoing ‘Office Politics’ In Your Own Authentic Way\u201d with my fabulous guest, Dessi Silassie, Chief DEI\u00a0 (Diversity, Equity & Inclusion) Officer at IHS Markit…<\/p>\n

Dessi shares her beautiful, honest and vulnerable story about taking on a new leadership role where the team was tight and didn\u2019t want their much-respected current manager to be replaced.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had two options,” Dessi says, “Option 1 was to come in strong and set out how the ‘new world’ would look: you can either get onboard with me or not. Or there was Option 2, which was to be vulnerable and let them know I understood that it was a difficult time – and difficult for them to accept me. I chose Option 2.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
