Team Summary
As a team of women, we wanted to interview a female leader who could provide insight into being confident leaders and advise us on motivating teams in historically male-dominated industries. Our team interviewed the managing partner of Banyan Construction Ltd, Dr Kristin Tangen Steffins. She is a local entrepreneurial woman who transitioned her successful science career into an equally successful career leading a construction firm. With her partner Dean, Banyan Construction Ltd was created in 2011 to help bring a positive change to the construction industry with a “vision for a different type of company, one based on mutual respect, integrity, teamwork, opportunity, and merit.” (Employer of the Year Nomination Banyan, 2022). At Banyan Construction Ltd, Dr Kristin Tangen Steffins oversees all corporate affairs, financial management, and core accounting for the organization while taking part in business expansion, strategic expansion, and operational planning (Employer of the Year Nomination Banyan, 2022). She also communicates with all stakeholders in the construction industry by utilizing her broad knowledge, experience, data analysis skills, and problem-solving abilities. (Employer of the Year Nomination Banyan, 2022). Dr Tangen Steffins always seeks to involve her team in decision-making and the leadership process while fostering a culture of participation and collaboration among all members, which made her an excellent leader to interview. Summary Report on Leadership & Power
Dr Kristin Tangen Steffins of Banyan Construction Ltd. discussed a democratic leadership style that values cooperation and teamwork, a willingness to hear new and better ideas and
promotes the development of strong interpersonal ties (Robbins et al., 2019, LO 10.2). She emphasizes the importance of including her team in decision-making and giving them the support and direction they need to succeed. She also believes that compassion is crucial and that leaders should show concern for their well-being and work to foster a friendly and supportive work environment. Dr Kristin Tangen Steffins is a good leader with effective communication, empathy, motivation, and adaptability (
Robbins et al
., 2019, LO 10.3). Power may be efficiently exploited or misused for one's advantage and can come from multiple sources, including official authority, specialized expertise, or control over essential resources (Cherry, 2022). In the interview, Dr Kristin Tangen Steffins discussed that selfishness, ego, and narcissism are linked to corrupt power and can ruin a leader's career. Her position at Banyan Construction Ltd provides her with a legitimate power based on her position in the company's formal hierarchy (
Robbins et al
., 2019, LO 10.5). While she provides a positive expert power based on her expertise, special skills, and knowledge (
Robbins et al
., 2019, LO 10.5). Leaders may increase their power by using their influence, but they can also utilize that power to become better leaders (Cherry, 2022). Kurt Lewin's leader-participation and Professor Martin Evan's path-goal theory are two leadership styles that Dr Tangen Steffins follows. With the leader-participation style, Dr Tangen Steffin discussed listening to employees and involving them in decision-making while having an open-minded attitude, effective communication abilities, and the willingness to share power (What Is Participative Leadership?, 2021). Dr Tangen Steffins has the four leadership behaviours

“Leaning in” as a leader means two things. One is to understand the needs of the followers and provide them with tools, environments, and opportunities that allow the team to be most effective. The second is to trust their team’s ability to conquer any challenges to reach the end goal. If the leader fails to lean in with the team, the whole organization would likely fail. Since the leader needs their followers to achieve any goals at all. The same applies for the follower as well. As a follower, the more you are able to lean in towards the leader. Let them know how you operate and what environment you work best in, it would be impossible for the leaders to create such an environment.
To effectively build connections with others, respect, would be the first step. Whether it’s leaders or followers. Respecting each other's opinions and valuing others’ perspectives is the best way to build a solid foundation to your connections. But to make a lasting connection, being yourself is the…

Mely Reyes didn't know what to do. After graduating from DLSUD in 1998, she had taken a job with major beer company, thinking she could pursue her in interests in sales. The beer company had a reputation for being like ‘’family’’ but it turned out that it was like no family she’d ever known. The sales and marketing director seemed to go out of his way to diminish the employee’s importance by making comments like ‘’if you want to leave, go ahead. I’ve got another 1,000 applicants just like you’’
She had spent her first year working for the company and was now trying to figure out whether to leave for another company, find a small one or change career together. ‘‘This is not why I got a business management degree for’’ she thought. Now, in the summer of 1999, she was facing a very tight job market and hadn’t been able to save a penny for a year. All she knew that she was miserable.
