Victoria here, Girlboss’ executive editor. 👋 |
On last week’s episode of Ambition 2.0, we talked about toxic bosses (yup, all 13 types!). So naturally, this week, we’re talking about the kinds of leaders who get it right. Because Gen Z and millennial bosses are charting new territory, navigating questions like: How do you build team culture on Slack? What are professional emojis? And what are you supposed to do when someone on your team follows you on Instagram? 🤔 We tackle it all in today’s episode! |
Other stuff the Girlboss team is yapping about on Slack: |

Hot Girls Take Their Sleep Seriously |
Did you know: Sleep apnea is one of the most overlooked women’s health issues, and its symptoms can look a lot like burnout: chronic fatigue, brain fog, low energy, headaches, and poor sleep that never seems to improve (no matter how early you go to bed). |
CPAP.com’s at-home sleep test helps you get real answers without spending the night in a sleep lab. 😴 You can test from your own bed, get results reviewed by a licensed sleep doctor, and receive a prescription and personalized care plan if needed. |

What Great Leaders Do Differently with Amanda Litman | Ambition 2.0 |
|
|
| ❝ |
| |
“It is actually possible to be a good boss and also not be an asshole.” |
| |
| — Amanda Litman |
|
|
Most leadership advice was written by and for a generation that thought "work-life balance" meant leaving the office before 9 p.m. and checking emails on weekends. |
Amanda Litman is here to set the record straight. |
As co-founder of Run for Something—the organization that's helped elect over 1,600 young leaders across the U.S.—and author of When We're In Charge, Amanda has spent years studying what actually makes the next generation of leaders different. |
She sat down with Amanda Goetz to get into the stuff no one says out loud, like why "bring your full self to work" is actually setting you up to fail, why return-to-office mandates disproportionately push moms out of the workforce, and what it really means to lead with authenticity without accidentally trauma-dumping on your team. 🙃 |
Plus: the surprisingly effective thing she did every Saturday in 2025 to fight loneliness; the case for the four-day workweek; and a rapid-fire round of “who’s most likely to?” workplace edition, featuring Gen Z, millennials, or Gen X. |
If you've ever wondered whether you can lead a team, build a career, and have a full life—without becoming the kind of boss you swore you'd never be—this one's for you. |
Key takeaways |
Responsible authenticity is about bringing the best version of yourself to serve your team, not your unfiltered 3 a.m. thoughts. Your employees are not your friends. Friendship is a relationship between equals, and a boss-employee dynamic is not that. If you can't manage a remote team, that's a “you” problem. The four-day workweek forces better prioritization, and the research backs it up. The sooner you let go of needing to be liked, the sooner you can actually lead—trying to please everyone is a fast track to pleasing no one and resenting yourself. |

🎵 Executive Editor Victoria cannot get “Right Back” by KARLEE GIRL out of her head. Fair warning: it will make you want to shake some ass on a yacht. Also, fun fact: Karlee was one of the contestants on Dream Academy, the competition series that formed KATSEYE. |
