Inside the conversation
The leadership we see.
The leaders we become.
Stacy Kamigaki works with B2B and technology companies as a fractional CMO and firm owner. In this conversation, she joins Jennifer Wright to explore how the leaders we encounter shape the way we lead—and why there is room for more than one approach.
Her Leadership Voices chapter, “See It Be It,” grew from reflecting on her own career and gathering perspectives from eight leaders. Their different answers challenged the idea of one universal set of leadership qualities. A young girl’s hopes for her future brought the theme into focus: what we see can expand what feels possible.
- Mentor the individual.
Understand each person’s interests, strengths and ambitions, then support their growth with those differences in mind.
- Begin with self-awareness.
Ask for feedback, notice what others see in you and look for places where your strengths can meet a need.
- Give the team a shared story.
Stacy reflects on a rebrand after multiple acquisitions and the pride that came from building an identity together.
