Growing up in the heart of the Confederacy, Maggie Lena Walker started work as a laundress at age nine. At the urging of her mother and mentors, she turned to education, and used it to propel her life forward — graduating high school at 16, working as a teacher, and learning accounting.Those experiences, coupled with her strong work ethic, culminated in Walker rising to lead the Independent Order of St. Luke and found several other businesses, all of which created jobs and opportunities for many women and Blacks people where there had been none before.In this episode, Harvard Business School senior lecturer Tony Mayo traces Walker's approach to leadership on her journey to becoming the first female bank president in America.You'll learn how she led the turnaround of the Order of St. Luke starting in 1899 by cutting costs, increasing membership, and launching new businesses that catered to unmet needs in Richmond's Black community. You'll also learn how Walker relied on her personal networks and deep local roots to overcome challenges rooted in systemic racism throughout her career. Key episode topics include: leadership, managing people, entrepreneurship, race, gender, Independent Order of St. Luke.

When Rosalind Fox took over as manager of John Deere's largest factory in Des Moines, Iowa, the plant employed 1,600 workers and included four major product lines. It was far bigger and more complex than the factory she'd been managing in North Carolina before her promotion. She had to shift from being a more operational, tactical manager to a more strategic role. But Fox was also the first Black female manager at the Iowa factory, and her employees there were mostly white men. So she also had to figure out how to engage with her staff and build credibility with them. And that meant Fox had to decide how much of herself to bring to work. “[T]he more authentic that you are, the greater sense of wellbeing you have, the greater sense of satisfaction you have, and that leads to greater engagement in the organization,” Harvard Business School senior lecturer Tony Mayo tells Cold Call host Brian Kenny. “[T]he key thing to know is that not everybody has the license to be authentic.” Mayo interviewed Fox for his case study on her leadership at the agricultural equipment company. In this episode, you'll learn how Fox balanced the pressure to assimilate into the factory's dominant cultures with her own sense of authenticity. Key episode topics include: leadership, managing people, organizational culture, diversity and inclusion, race, authenticity, communication, agriculture, manufacturing, employee engagement.
