Today I have the pleasure of being joined by an inspiring
young leader who understands better than most the challenges
millennials face when taking on a leadership role for the first
time in their professional careers.
Emily Monteleone is a Program Manager at Cleveland Clinic’s
Taussig Cancer Institute, where she oversees the Cancer
Programming efforts in creating the multidisciplinary cancer
programs for breast, colorectal and upper gastrointestinal
cancers, such as pancreatic and liver cancer. Emily is a member
of the Executive Board for GOAL, Cleveland Clinic’s Group of
Aspiring Leaders and is also a graduate of the inaugural class
of the Emerging Leaders Program at the Cleveland Clinic.
Emily spends her free time working with Cleveland area
non-profits, such as Gigi’s Playhouse and Engage!
Cleveland. For perspective, the Cleveland Clinic has been
ranked one of the top 5 hospitals in the country.
In our conversation, we dive into Emily's specific advice on
how young professionals can not only succeed, but thrive in
leadership positions. Topics we cover include:
- Jumping at opportunities, no matter how big or small
- The "Buddy to Boss" transition
- Opening the communication door as a leader
- Qualities of successful leaders
- Importance of stretch assignments
- Servant Leadership
- Always staying true to yourself
