Leaderly quote: Brand your ideas so no one can hijack them.
By Jo Miller
Luann Pendy, Ph.D. is senior vice president of global quality at Medtronic, where she leads quality operations and ensures that medical devices for patients worldwide are of the highest quality and reliability. Pendy was recently named one of The National Diversity Council’s 2015 Top 50 Most Powerful Women in Technology.
She has also done a lot to support our community of emerging leaders, both as a webinar guest speaker and in frequently allowing me to quote her in articles like this one about leading in meetings when you’re not the meeting leader.
Here’s another of Pendy’s suggestions for how to show up as a leader in meetings:
If you want to be known for your ideas, describe them in unique and memorable terms so that no one else can claim them as their own.
“Brand your ideas, so no one can hijack them,” says Pendy.
