Cy Wakeman

Cy Wakeman is a leadership consultant, speaker, and author known for her "reality-based leadership" philosophy.

She emphasizes accountability and reducing workplace drama to improve organizational performance.

Wakeman's approach focuses on helping leaders and employees manage their thoughts and reactions to workplace situations, rather than trying to change external circumstances.

She advocates for eliminating "emotional waste" and encourages individuals to take responsibility for their own engagement and success.

Wakeman has written several books on leadership and workplace dynamics, including "Reality-Based Leadership" and "The Reality-Based Rules of the Workplace." Her ideas have gained traction in corporate settings, though they have also faced criticism for potentially oversimplifying complex workplace issues.
