During her inspiring \u2018Game-Changer\u2019 session, she revealed her \u201chard-earned and heard-learned pearls of wisdom about intentional leadership\u201d.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn these times, powerful, impactful and influential leaders must be intentional about eight specific things, starting with authenticity,\u201d said <strong>Carla Harris, Vice Chairman, Managing Director and Senior Client Advisor at Morgan Stanley<\/strong>. \u201cUse your valuable intellectual capacity to say things that are true to you, as that is your distinct competitive advantage. Bring your authentic self to the table.\u201d<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Harris explained that she always enters meetings by taking various Carlas \u2013 the singer, the investment banker, the mother, along with others \u2013 as she never knows which one will make the connection and differentiate her in a unique, memorable way.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from being intentional about authenticity, she said leaders must be intentional about building trust within teams, and creating clarity for teams, even when it\u2019s hard to see. \u201cDefine what success looks like for your team, because motivated people will give more,\u201d she added.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Harris also placed particular emphasis on the important cycle of creating other leaders. \u201cAmplify your impact by creating other leaders. Give others the opportunity to cut their teeth on opportunities you already know you can do. Just because you can do something, doesn\u2019t mean you should.\u201d&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She said leaders must be intentional about welcoming lots of different ideas, perspectives and experiences into the room by gathering the best talent around them.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018\u2019Innovation is today\u2019s dominant competitive parameter. We must teach teams how to fail, by celebrating failures. Learn the blessing of the lesson and move on,\u201d she said, before highlighting the need to be inclusive by soliciting other\u2019s people voices. \u201cFinally, be intentional about your voice, as it\u2019s at the heart of your power. Be willing to call a thing a thing, no matter how bad the thing might be.\u201d<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She closed the session by stating that courage is the string that holds the eight pearls of intentional leadership together.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The \u2018Game-Changer\u2019 sessions, introduced for the first time at Global Women\u2019s Forum Dubai 2020, showcase inspiring personal stories from women who have made great strides across various industries, providing insight into their journeys to success. The sessions highlight pioneering women\u2019s diverse experiences \u2013 including the lessons learnt and obstacles overcome \u2013 as they delve into topics ranging across philanthropy, international relations, male-dominated industries, business, and more.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Global Women\u2019s Forum Dubai 2020 is organised by Dubai Women Establishment, which is led by <strong>Her Highness Sheikha Manal bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum<\/strong>, President of the UAE Gender Balance Council and wife of HH Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, UAE Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Presidential Affairs.<br>Building on its theme, <strong><em>\u2018The Power of Influence\u2019<\/em><\/strong>, Global Women\u2019s Forum Dubai 2020 will highlight how effective policies and partnerships in four key areas \u2013 <strong>Government<\/strong>, <strong>Economy, Society, and the Future<\/strong> \u2013 can further women\u2019s positive impact for a better future.\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wall Street banker Carla Harris participates in first \u2018Game-Changer\u2019 session at GWFD 2020 Using the metaphor of a string of pearls, Harris identified eight things leaders must do with intention Carla Harris: \u201cUse your valuable intellectual capacity to say things that are true to you, as that is your distinct competitive advantage.\u201d Dubai, UAE, 16 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":3803,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,68],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3072","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-media-centre","category-media-centre-mobile"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
