Credibility is not given. It is rebuilt | Monica Ciobanu | S2E4

Credibility is not given. It is rebuilt.

In this episode of What No One Tells You, Claudia Slujitoru is joined by Monica Ciobanu, Business Excellence Manager at Allergan Aesthetics, an AbbVie company, where her role now spans nine countries.

Monica has moved through three very different industries in the past fifteen years, from Deloitte to Schneider Electric to her current role in pharmaceuticals and aesthetics. In this conversation she talks openly about what it actually takes to start over each time, and about the hardest professional decision she has faced so far: becoming a manager for the first time and having to let go of the very first person she hired.

She shares what she leaned on to get through that decision, why she believes managers should never make hiring or firing choices alone, and how she has learned to read the cultural values of colleagues across nine different countries rather than assume her own approach translates everywhere. She also talks about her role within Women Leaders in Action, an internal community she has supported for the past two years, and why she chose to take that on despite an already demanding role.

This is a conversation about what leadership costs before it starts paying off, and about rebuilding credibility every time the ground shifts underneath you.

Now you know. Because we told you.
