When Joycelyn Stevenson saw a posting for executive director of the Tennessee Bar Association in 2017, she decided not to apply. “I felt like, I’m not going to get that job. That’s a job that somebody else is already in line for,” she said. Flash forward to today, Stevenson has successfully headed up the bar association for more than five years and is now leaving the TBA to return to private practice. In a new episode of the TBA’s Sidebar podcast, Stevenson has a very honest discussion on lessons learned from the TBA, thoughts on her leadership style, overcoming self-doubt, advice for fellow leaders and more. “That’s the big leadership advice from me: everybody’s role is important and bring people along with you.” Sidebar is part of the TBA Podcast Network and can be found on the TBA’s website or wherever you listen to podcasts.
