From SME (subject matter expert) to People Leader: Amanda Stone on Managing with MOXY

In this thirteenth episode of Conversations with MOXY, host Natasha Ozybko sits down with Amanda Stone, a tech professional and recent MBA graduate. Amanda shares her unique perspective as a young leader navigating male-populated industries and the critical difference between subject matter expertise and true people leadership. Amanda discusses her non-traditional educational path, finishing her MBA in two distinct stages to ensure her learning was grounded in real-world management experience. She and Natasha explore the "Great Breakup"—the trend of women leaving organizations that offer diversity on paper but fail to provide a culture of true inclusion. Discover why management is a lifelong learning process and how small, immediate acts of allyship can break down systemic walls for the next generation of female leaders. In this episode, we discuss: • The "Stepped" MBA Path: Why returning to school with leadership experience provides a deeper perspective on business and people management. • The Power of the Network: How professional relationships and advocacy can open doors that are rarely handed out voluntarily. • Addressing the "Inclusion Illusion": Moving beyond policy to address unconscious bias and the stigma of "tokenism" that can follow successful women. • The Great Breakup: Why high-performing women are walking away from toxic cultures and what organizations must do to retain them. • Allyship in the Classroom: A powerful real-world example of how calling out interruptions can immediately change behavior and empower women's voices. • Reverse Mentorship: Why senior leaders should seek out fresh perspectives from younger talent to stay competitive. Key Quote: "Management is a lifelong learning process because people are constantly changing. What worked for one person yesterday may not be enough support for another today."
