Marcy Syms is a pioneering businesswoman and advocate for respect in leadership. She’s seen leadership fads come and go. She was a CEO when people still thought “women shouldn’t do that sort of thing” And she’s done something many folks have never had to endure – shuttering her family’s business while making her key creditors whole – an act deeply in line with her core value of respect. Marcy shares insights from her journey in the retail industry, her experiences with leadership dynamics and her advocacy for the Equal Rights Amendment – something she hopes to see made part of the constitution while she’s still around to enjoy it! Why Respect? 🗝️Respect drives sustainable growth – respect for your team allows them to feel empowered to be the face of your business and to build the processes and systems that make growth sustainable. 🗝️Giving respect helps you get respect – starting first, leading the conversation with respect at the core helps get things done, especially in times of stress and turbulence. 🗝️Respect is outer behavior and inner work – to make it a core habit and your default behavior takes strategic reflection and personal growth.
