Your Team Doesn't Need a Boss, They Need a Human with Selena Rezvani

Your Team Doesn't Need a Boss, They Need a Human with Selena Rezvani

In this episode of The WorkWell Podcast™, Jen Fisher speaks with Selena Rezvani, Wall Street Journal bestselling author and Forbes-named premier expert on standing up for yourself at work. Selena returns to the podcast to discuss her latest book, "Quick Leadership: Build Trust, Navigate Change, and Cultivate Unstoppable Teams." Drawing from her personal experience losing her workaholic father at age 13 and years of coaching leaders behind closed doors, Selena shares practical, actionable strategies for becoming the kind of leader people want to follow—without sacrificing your humanity or health.

Episode Highlights:

The shocking statistic: Your manager influences your mental health on par with your spouse—more than your doctor or therapist (UKG research)
Trust killers in leadership: Why over-promising on small things destroys credibility and what "being impeccable with your word" really means
The "Shit Umbrella" concept: How great leaders shield their teams from chaos, unrealistic pressure, and distractions from above
Urgency culture: How to recognize when anxiety is being passed like a baton and why marking emails as "urgent" is eroding workplace trust
The difference between boss and leader: Why giving away power creates unstoppable teams instead of diminishing your authority
"Ask three before you answer": A practical technique to build autonomy and critical thinking in your team members
Re-engaging disengaged employees: Why viewing lost spark as temporary (not permanent) changes everything

"People don't want this stoic pillar of a leader—they want a human." - Selena Rezvani
