📄 Episode Description:
They may seem small—an offhand comment, a loaded compliment, a “joke” that lands too sharply—but microaggressions cut deep, especially in the workplace. In this episode of Leadership Lessons, Dr. Fredrick D. Lee II unpacks the silent damage caused by microaggressions and explores how leaders can create spaces where dignity, clarity, and accountability coexist.
Dr. Lee goes beyond theory and shares real-world insights on how these subtle forms of bias affect team morale, engagement, and retention—especially for people from marginalized backgrounds. This conversation is an invitation for leaders to develop the emotional intelligence and courage necessary to acknowledge the harm, interrupt the pattern, and lead more consciously.
Suppose you’ve ever struggled to explain “why that comment hurt,” or you’re unsure how to intervene when you witness exclusion. In that case, this episode provides clarity, language, and leadership strategies for responding with integrity.
