1. Episode #11: People need to be led well. Deborah Brown-Volkman 24:37

Candace Mae watched 35 people who were on the top of their game have their lives destroyed by one bad leader. High-performing individuals who were once self-confident professionals turned into self-doubters. Can one person do that much damage? The answer was yes.

Candace Mae was one of those 35. But, she had two things in her favor. A legal background. And, she was already building a leadership development business on the side. This gave her perspective, something else to look forward to, and the ability to document 144 pages regarding that boss’ bullying behavior. He was eventually reassigned. Candace left to start her own business.

Candace Mae’s leadership principles center around the 3 C’s: Competence, Connection, and Character. She says Character is the most important of the three. Character builds a workplace founded on trust and psychological safety, essential for people to perform at their best.

Candace Mae’s latest book, Heaven Within Restoring Wholeness for Better Leadership, is an Amazon international bestseller in 6 countries.  This book resonates with international readers and is an outcome of her journey to leadership success.
